Over 60,000 books (plus puzzles, games, vinyl records, CDs, DVDS and sheet music) - for ALL AGES. The oldest – and one of the largest and most organized – book fairs in New England hosted by and benefiting the library founded by Mark Twain, himself! Twain moved to Redding, CT, in 1907 and had more books than would fit in his new home.

He donated over one thousand titles to help get the Library started; and upon his death, his daughter Clara donated more for sale to build on his fledgling legacy in Redding. Today, more than 100 years later, the Book Fair is still one of the Library’s principal fundraisers and a mainstay each Labor Day Weekend for this quaint town. Food trucks will be on sight during the fair,
