Children's books will be available in the Meetinghouse at 10:45 a.m. At 11 a.m., all sales are open until the grounds close at 7 p.m.

Throughout the day, visitors will come face to face with 30,000 high-quality used books for sale.

No matter what stories you love to read or genres you lean more into, you can be sure to find the right ones for you.

Books include art, literature, cooking, gardening, local features, poetry, non-fiction, children's books and more.

For a more effortless browsing experience, books are categorized by subject and clearly labeled above each table. Cash, checks and credit cards are acceptable when ready to purchase.

Any bookworm can agree that books can become a pricey investment over time. However, Westport's Friends Book Sale is the perfect event to snag a new beach read or stock up your collection at home with deals you can't find at a traditional bookstore.

The Westport Friends Book Sale doesn't end this weekend, either. It will continue daily from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. through July 22.
