62nd Annual Mark Twain Library

Over 65,000 books (and more) organized in 75 categories! The Mark Twain Library Book Fair is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in all of New England. Highlights this year include multiple foreign language books, an extensive children’s section, an assortment of music and play scripts, large collections in transportation, intelligence, knitting and more! The humorist, Mark Twain himself, founded the library and 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.
