Overzealous Book Sales
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR!!!!!!!!
This won't be the last time you hear about it, but it might be the first... the semi-annual Friends of the Library book sale is coming up. Kids, I'm not joshin with you. This is a serious book sale. Some of you know that I have a massive library at my residence, Starfleet Command, in Williamsburg Village. Most of the books have been bought at the FOL booksales over the past two years.
This is an amazing opportunity. They fill up this massive warehouse on Main Street with books of all kinds, sorted by type. History, science fiction, gardening, hobbies, magazines (all your favorites), psychology, political science, mathematics, physics, cooking, romance, biography, architecture, painting, and much much more.
Stripped from their website:
As many of you know, I worked for the Alachua County Lib. Dist. for some time and enjoyed it immensely. This is the best library system in the WORLD. They have NO LATE FEES on ANYTHING. Although they recently changed the amount of time you can loan media out (from 14 to 7 days), the real point is: they have all the latest videos AND THERE ARE NO LATE FEES.
This book sale is one of my favorite times of the year. Mark your calendars now!
