Calling all central PA booklovers - I recommend you call in sick to work this Monday… the Friends of the Lancaster Public Library Fall Book Sale begins Monday at 9:00. This is a BIG book sale and well worth attending if you have the time. The FotLPL put on two sales per year (spring and fall) and both are excellent examples of what a book sale should/can be - a large selection (advertised at over 150,000 books!), sorted by subject, no pre-sale activity that I am aware of, books are priced reasonably (most hardbacks are a $1 and paperbacks are $.50 each), and they take place in the Overlook Activities Center, a roller skating rink, which provides decent space and limits the crowding… the only real downfall to these two sales is they tend to start on Mondays, which requires me to use a personal day from work (I don’t usually call in sick to go book shopping - not that I never have such a thing).Man, I can’t wait! 150,000 books will surely provide a few keepers… and if not, the fun of the hunt is worth it by itself, sometimes.
To find out how it goes, check back later in the week for a review of sorts.
