Treasure Hunting at the Book Sale

Categories: Entertainment , Rediscoveries , Staff Picks , Nonfiction

The press of bodies, the clamor of the hunters, the excitement of the find.  Throngs of people traveled downtown to the Main Library to the Friends' Annual Book Sale for a chance to find and purchase books, movies, and music for just a few dollars. 

People performed versions of the shuffle dance to navigate the various areas where materials were stacked and I heard the call "Look what I found!" from every direction. Hunters came with trolleys and shopping carts to lug their trophies home.  By end of day, the tired but jublilant hunters departed with promises to continue the pursuit next year. 

Many of the treasures at the book sale are also in our collection.  Here are a few of the diverse trophies I captured during my hunt    

• A Celtic Christmas Celebration 
• Fred's Hot Step
• Heart of the Home
• Container Gardening
• Good Things: The Best of Martha Stewart Living

There are always treasures at the Library, don't wait for the book sales to discover this gold mine of entertainment.
