ASKED QUESTIONS |
Where do
these books come from?
Donations. Most books are
obtained from donations - not from the library itself. And not
just books. At many of the sales you will also find National
Geographic and other magazines, records, CDs, and videos.
This is recycling at its best.
The donor gets more shelf space, the non-profit BOOKWORM CLUB gets
funds for charity, the purchaser gets great
books at great prices.
What
can I expect at the sale?
You
can usually expect lots of people. Collectors and book scouts are
in line before the doors open. The experienced book sale buyer
knows that the highly collectible books are often sold in the
first hour or two of the sale. Remember that the sales are nearly
always staffed by unpaid volunteers, so be patient with them. It's
a good idea to bring your own bags so you'll have someplace to put
your books while you're scurrying around grabbing book after book.
Many
good books are available throughout the sale. Donors may bring
books throughout the sale so you never know what will be there in
the next hour. For the entire duration of the sale, you can always
get good self-help books, mysteries, novels, and just about
anything else you want. At that prices during the sale, you can
afford to bring a bunch of books home. Any that you don't want can
be donated back next at the next sale.
After
the sale, haul the books to your car and enjoy the rest of the day
in town. Be sure to bring the family!
Everybody
wins!
