Find a Book Sale, now!

I often mention my love for book sales, but I think they are something that not everyone knows about. Previously I have stated my intentions of writing up my full views, opinions, thoughts, annoyances, and joys of attending book sales - this is not that post - that is going to be a quite large, possibly multi-post, affair... as we head into spring and summer sales, I plan on taking notes, fleshing out my thoughts, and generally having grand ol’ time of it. This is just a short post to urge you all to support your local book sales...

It is pretty easy - find a book sale, buy books, save money, and support some good causes in the process.

How to find a sale? Book Sale Finder is an invaluable resource for book sale goers, and the best place I have found to do so. Make sure to sign up for their Sale Mail - a great reminder once a week that you want to go buy books. Besides that, ask around at local libraries (not every sale will be listed online)... Friends of the Library sales tend to be their predominant fundraisers (you should be a “friend” of your local library system, even if you don’t use the library - you like books, they like books, why not be friends). Don’t think book sales are your thing? Then find a local charity to donate some books to, it’ll make you feel good...
