Good, Cheap Books !
A bibliophile is a person who loves to read or collect books. Some folks like to collect books that are rare or unusual. There are people who specialize in those sorts of things but I just love to read and be surrounded by books. Hardcovers, no covers, paperbacks, or great tomes. I’m VERY fond of field guides and reference books and my junk food reading is anything sci-fi or fantasy. I even like the bad stuff. When I think about things I’d like to do to improve our home, the first thing that always to comes to mind is: build more book shelves.
I consider purgatory to be the space between books. Thankfully that is a rare occurrence. When it DOES happen, life feels slightly off. I know I’m not the only one like this; after tureall, we have our own name.
So, if you are even remotely interested in buying books cheap, check out the Spring Book Sale at the Main Library. Here’s what you need to know.
Happy Reading!
