Just the other day, I decided to head on over to a book sale which the local library holds at this time of year. Not only was this a perfect opportunity to pick up some great reads at a major discount price but my time at the book sale was meant for another good cause: supporting the library from a financial standpoint as well.
I don't know if some people truly understand how important their trip to a library-sponsored book sale can be. But it's important for the following reasons:
(1) the dinero you end up spending at the booksale is (however slight it might be) a financial boost which the library could use in their favor;
(2) the funding which comes from the book sale gets channeled into a variety of projects & events connected to the library/which the library is promoting;
(3) it also goes to show much you support not solely your local library but also proves that your gift, small though it is, means a whole lot just by showing up to buy some used books.
I grabbed several books while I was there; I expected some of last year's energy in finding all these awesome books to snatch up to carry over into this year's extravaganza. But it took just one stop to find some classic works worth getting...not three or four stops before I was done finding all the reading material I could ever want. Aw well though; you can't win them all.
And I'm a pretty happy man right now...
