From romance to history books, the Colchester Historeum used-book sale has it all.
“This is an important fundraiser for us, we depend on donations to support our upkeep and operational costs,” said Barry Zolkivski Committee Chair of the Archives.
The Historeum is still accepting used books for their April 22 sale, although, they already have a huge selection to choose from.
Zolkivski has been busy for the last few weeks sorting the books dropped off by donation.
“New copies have been coming in everyday,” said Zolkivski “There is a diverse amount of fiction and non-fiction here already.”
Recently the Historeum had some unexpected expenses so they hope there is a large turnout at the sale.
They operate by the help of volunteers, with the exception of two paid staff, says Margaret Mulroney, the Historeum’s curator.
“We will take anything we can get.”
The Historeum previously had a weekly sale partnering with the farmers market. They won’t be starting that until after this larger event.
“We want to kick it off with a bang, to get things rolling,” Mulroney said.
The Historeum is accepting all books and they’re hoping to get some more soft covers for the sale.
However, they won’t be accepting magazines because in previous years they were harder to sell.
Book drop off times are the Historeum’s usual hours, Tuesday-Friday 10am-12pm and 1pm-4pm.
The book sale runs April 22 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
