• Hillwood Book Sale | As part of our volunteer appreciation events, Archives and Special Collections will be holding a used book sale in the Dina Merrill Pavilion, with all proceeds going to the library’s acquisition fund. Books on sale are either out of the scope of the collection or have been withdrawn according to our collection development policy. Books will be priced at $1 – $2, and cash is strongly encouraged. Checks will also be accepted. To maintain Hillwood’s commitment to sustainability, browsers must bring their own bags to carry their purchases.

We would be delighted to have you join us in celebrating your invaluable contributions to Hillwood.
