The Lewisboro Library is a vibrant and deeply valued community institution serving residents of Lewisboro and the surrounding area. The Library is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit association library (EIN 13-6018823), supported only in part through tax dollars – we rely on the generosity of donors and sponsors to make our work possible!
The annual Library Fair is our largest and most important community and fundraising event of the year! With the support of over 50 dedicated volunteers, the Lewisboro Library Fair is now celebrating its 64th year and continues to attract over 3,000 visitors annually! Visitors attend free of charge to enjoy the day’s festivities, shop the various book and attic treasure sales and our vendor market, participate in our popular silent auction, and connect with the community.
ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE FAIR GO DIRECTLY TO THE LIBRARY! The Annual Lewisboro Library Fair draws 3,000+ attendees from across Westchester and nearby CT/NY counties — and your business can be front and center!

Awards are given in each of ten categories. The first 40 attendees receive dash plates and all cars are roped off. There is no entrance fee, but space is limited.
