Well, it's been a quiet couple of weeks, but mid-October should see me picking up momentum again. Next week I'm hoping to do something I haven't done before: go to a first-night paid preview of a book sale. (It's only $5, which I'd be happy to donate to a library in any case, and the chance to have first dibs at all those goodies is way too tempting!) This one is at the New Britain Public Library, and I'll be going on Wednesday, Oct. 14 (the sale runs through Saturday). I've been there once or twice before to take out books, but I've never been to one of their sales.
The next night it'll be the Prosser Public Library in Bloomfield--again, a library I've visited for borrowing but never for a sale. I'll be going on Thursday, Oct. 15 (this isn't a paid preview, to my knowledge); again, the sale runs through Saturday.
My Saturday, however, will be dedicated to the Otis Library in Norwich. This one is new to me in all ways--never been there before, so I'm looking forward to the journey. According to Book Sales in Connecticut, this sale includes 25,000 books, so it's a big 'un. The Norwich sale actually starts on Friday, Oct. 16, but I have to work, so I'm stuck with Saturday. It runs through Sunday.
I'm off to Pennsylvania for this weekend. And oh, Lord--just occurred to me that I might check out the Pennsylvania Book Sale Finder, and turns out there's a huge sale (American Association of University Women--50th anniversary, 75,000 books!) in a town about half an hour from my sister-in-law's house! Wonder if I can get myself out there . . .
Stay tuned!
