Only a few days until we can stock up on our own reading material at way, way below bargain prices over at the Friends of the New Glarus Library’s book sale on September 2nd. I don’t know whether to buy a sturdy Friends book bag for $20.00 that lets me fill it up with books too, or just browse the hundreds of books to select some for the entire family.

Ooh, look at all those DVDs and music CDs! I might throw a few of those in the bag.

Fortunately, I can pull up behind the Village Hall so I’m close to the Community Room there and if I buy more than I thought I would, those nice folks will put a bunch of books in a paper bag (or two) so I can make it back to the car.

I know if I show up when the sale starts at 9:00 a.m. I’ll have the best selection, but even showing up at 4:00 p.m., an hour before closing, there will still be literally hundreds of books to make choices from $1.00 for a hard cover and 50 cents for a paperback. How could I not find something I’m interested in reading, or possibly giving since most are in very good shape or, more likely, both?
