Book Sales
Spring & Fall Book Sales
UPL’s Spring and Fall Book Sales are run by our Library Trustees and volunteers. We sell good condition used items, donated by the community or deaccessioned from the library collection. All proceeds directly support the library’s annual operating budget. Thank you for your support!
