Once again I was blown away by my local library's yearly book sale. If you weren't already aware that Charlottesville, Virginia, is a scholarly town, you should come visit us. We have the Virginia Book Festival, many used, new, and antique book stores, several fine local libraries, and, of course, Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia and Monticello.
But, getting back to the book sale. I really believe you help mother Earth by recycling your books (giving them to your library for resale) and buying used books, not to mention supporting local businesses and the library. My library's sale is huge, well known, and well attended. Last year, the nine-day sale made around $200,000! Between my husband and myself, we spent around $38 and got an enormous bag of books. They had many genres including fiction, nonfiction, art, biographies, history, and so on. There are hard cover, paperback, vintage, antique, and audio books, CDs, and even some art for unreal prices. Donations are accepted year round.
Support your community and local library by volunteering time, donating books or money or purchasing books from your library.
