The Friends of the Marlborough Public Library are holding their Spring Book and Bake Sale on Saturday, April 26th. The sale is open from 9-4 PM. The library is located on 35 West Main Street in Marlborough, MA in the Bigelow Auditorium, located in the lower library.
This sale is especially good for parents as the children's section is sorted into sections making the books easier to locate. The sections include board books, hard cover picture books, soft cover picture books, leveled readers, holiday themed books, early chapter books, and then chapter books by genre. There is also a section for non-fiction materials. Not something you find at most library book sales. While books do get jumbled during the sale, every effort is made to keep the sections together as long as books remain in those categories to help parents and children make selections.
Adults also have a wide selection of books in fiction and nonfiction, hard cover and paper, including large print.
Another reason to visit, the prices are the best in the area. Children's soft cover books are $.25 Hardcover books $.50. Adult books are $.50 for paper and $1.00 for hard cover.
For best selection, arrive early. If you miss this sale, please stop by the ongoing sale located on a cart inside the Children's Library. While it won't be available during the sale on Saturday, it should resume the week after the sale ends. The prices are the same and new items are added weekly. Adults can find an ongoing sale on a bookshelf inside the doors at the entrance of the upstairs library. That will be available during the book sale.

Marlborough Heritage Festival
This Sunday, October 2 the City of Marlborough and the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the 16th Annual Marlborough Heritage Festival from 10AM-3PM. You can preview the event at their website. While not a fan of chowder, the contest being one of the larger draws, there are lots of other things to see. There are children's activities, music, entertainment, vendors, and a food court for visitors. The City will be returning with the trucks for children to explore.
Those not attending should be aware that traffic will be diverted around the fair area so alternative plans should be made for Sunday. Main Street is closed to on the day of the Festival between Rt. 85 and Florence Street.
This event is not as large as some of the other town days in the area, but it is one of Marlborough's main events. I have read about this festival for years, even before its name change. We have always had a scheduling conflict. This year we our schedule is free and we have decided to check it out.

Marlborough's Labor Day Parade
Marlborough, Massachusetts’ annual Labor Day Parade kicks off on Monday, September 5th at noon. You can visit their website if you have any questions about the event.
Growing up in this area, I am ashamed to admit I never knew Marlborough had a Labor Day parade until about eight years ago. Now we have come to enjoy it as an annual end of summer event.
It is one of the shortest parades in the area. Having walked it a few times, this has never been an issue for me.
If you are looking for something fun to do with your family in the Metrowest area of Massachusetts, the parade is always a fun free event.
The parade route follows from the intersection of Pleasant and Lincoln Streets, down Lincoln and Broad to West Main Street, through the downtown area, turns on to Route 85, finishing on John Street. We always arrive early to set up a good spot.
This year’s theme is "Our Children Our Future."
