I help price books donated to our library for a
bi-annual book sale. I love this volunteer job because I get to do the biographies. I love biographies. It is also fun because I work with other people who love books. These are the fruits of my labor, all ready for the sale. There are 6 shelf sections in this row, each with 6 shelves of about 30 books. That is more than 1,000 biographies!
The sale starts tonight. People saved places near the entrance early in the day, by 5pm there will be a line of eager buyers. It's estimated there are about 100,000 books. Most are priced at 75 cents for a paperback, $1.50 for a hardback. We make about $40,000 each sale for our library.
That is so great! It must be really nice sale if people already lined up for it.
ReplyDelete$40,000...Wow! Good for the library.
How cool is that? I would love to go to such a beautifully organized sale.
ReplyDeleteWe have a similiar huge organized library sale about 8 times a year. Founders get to go Friday night and we go one hour early and get approx. the same spot in line. They give out cookies just before opening. Wonderful, wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteDayton, OH has a sale once a year with over 200,000 items in it.
Oh my mouth is watering at all those lovely books and what bargains!
ReplyDeleteIf we were neighbors I would be seeing you there! It's easier to pass up a fabric sale than a book sale for me. Share your finds please, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sale! I wish I could be there!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of books, and great prices for them as well. I wish I could be there as well!
