GOODIES FROM THE 2014 NORTH TONAWANDA LIBRARY SALE


Each year the North Tonawanda Library holds a book sale. On the final two days, there’s a “bag sale.” You buy a shopping bag for $5 and you can fill it with as many books as you can jam in the bag. These hardcovers are the goodies I took home in my bag.

    Our library now has an ongoing sale-people donate books to it. So we are always in trouble. Buy on average 1-2 a week.

      Patti, our public Library has an on-going book sale in their Lobby, too. Some great books show up! But this Book Sale is a the Friends of the Library fund-raiser.

    George, a nice haul of books. I’ll take a look at “Little Black Dress” by Loren D. Estleman. A $5 shopping bag worth of books is neat marketing strategy. You would’ve probably got more paperbacks in there than hardbacks, I suppose. We’ve a somewhat similar sale where we can buy as many books as we like by the kilo, at a price of Rs.100, Rs.120 and Rs.150 a kg, all less than two dollars. I usually go for the paperbacks; that way I get more.

      Prashant, I was disappointed in the paperback selection in the NT Library Sale. Mostly romance novels and James Pattersons.
