On Early Bird Saturday, Nov. 1, the Skidompha Secondhand Book Shop will hold a storewide half-price sale. The shop will open at 6 a.m., three hours earlier than usual, and every item except gift certificates will be on sale at half price all day until the shop closes at 4 p.m.

After that day, a special half-price sale on vintage books will continue through Sunday, Nov. 9.

The book shop is located on the river in downtown Damariscotta at 17 Backstreet Landing and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s a major source of funding for Skidompha Public Library, offering books in dozens of categories; music on CD and records; games and puzzles. All items are donated, all staff members are volunteers, and every purchase helps to support the library’s programs and collections.

Volunteers welcome donations whenever the shop is open.
