🍂 Make a Saturday of It! 📚🐇

Two great local events. One very good reason to get out and explore our community!

This Saturday, September 26, start your day with the Friends of the Clarkston Independence District Library Fall Book Sale — $5 Bag Day from 10 AM-2 PM!

📚 Fill a bag with books for just $5 (bag provided or bring your own)
📚 Find books, movies, games, puzzles & more
📚 Stock up for yourself, your family, or your next rainy-day reading pile!

Then head over to Waterford for the Grand Opening of the expansion of The Rabbit Hole! 🐇

The Rabbit Hole is celebrating its expansion with a Fall Pop-Up and Grand Opening from 10 AM–5 PM, with even more vintage, handmade goods and local vendors to explore.

And we're especially excited because Friends of the CIDL vintage books are part of The Rabbit Hole! Our vintage book sales there help the Friends raise additional funds for things that benefit our library beyond its regular budget.

So make a day of it:

📚 Fall Book Sale — $5 Bag Day

Come see us at the library—and then go down the Rabbit Hole! 🐇📚
