Library Book Sale

     What a haul!

Our library had another book sale, this time even 

better than previous sales.

I started at the Pacific, MO library Thursday night 

on my way home.  My husband and I went to the main

branch on Friday and then to the St. Clair, MO branch

as we passed through town.

Books were  $.50 - $1.00

Kid books could be priced by the bag

I think we came home with 85 books,

I think we spent around $0.71 per book.

My husband loves the classics, historical and non-fiction,

I grabbed crafting and novels

plus my husband is starting Taylor's book club

where he and my granddaughter read the same book

and discuss it once a week.  She loves to read but

not what the school wants her to read !

 They are starting The Hobbit first

and then I picked up Tom Sawyer for her.

Plus she got some fun kid books.

I tried some authors that I've seen but never read,

for $0.50, I'll try a few to see how I like them.

We won't go back but on the last day of the sale

you can pay $5 for as many as you can fit into a box!

We'll have good reading for years to come.

When we're done, we'll donate those we don't keep to

the Agape House where they use proceeds from their

sales to help the needy pay bills or provide food for their families.
