I went to a book sale this weekend. Here's what went on in my head:
Here I am at the library. Boy, am I excited for this book sale!
Walk into the room, WOAH! My eyes need time to adjust. The colors, the lines, the bookish smell, it's way too overwelming.
Tables everywhere packed with books. Hmmmm, which ones do I choose? Let's look at some titles: Novel set in Amish country, "Land of Lincoln", "The Help", novel set in Amish country, "The History of Surnames", novel set in Amish country, juicy romance, "The Boy in the Striped Panamas", novel set in Amish country, Anne of Green Gables, horror book, novel set in Amish country.... what is with all these novels set in Amish country?!?!
Browsing, browsing, squeeze around the fellow bookworms. La dee da, ooooh, look at that one! Whoops, just kidding not my kind of book. Here's an interesting choice. Do they really write books about that? Geez, I've already been here an hour! Better finish up, oh this one or that?
Here, just take these four. Alright, I'm ready now. Go up to the table, five dollars? Sure. (Never mind that they're only 75 cents each!) Never let a librarian use her beady eyes to weasel $5 out of you. Rats, I'm going to regret that later.
Gather up my finds, walk out the door. What's that, you say, old lady? "Look at these books! Where did they all COME from?"
Hehe, well, it's not magic, ma'am, it's just a book sale.
The Beaver Area Memorial Library held its annual book sale on Saturday, June 1st. All proceeds benefitted the library (even extra proceeds!). This week they are offering any books you can fit in a bag for $5. Please stop by and support the library.
