I love library book sales. My local library sells donated books for the cost of $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks. On the final day of the sale they then charge $5 per as many books that can fill a bag. Generally, I buy the best books for my family and friends on day one of the sale and then come back on the final day to purchase books per bag for my little free libraries that I steward. My local library usually has three huge rooms filled with books to sell four times a year. The large conference room is adult books on every genre and topic possible. The second room is children books while the outer lobby is media (DVDs, vinyl records, magazines). I have even found rare first editions. Generally, I pick up so many books on the final day that I am often loaned a library cart to wheel them and load into my car.
My husband’s best friend has been a regular patron at his local library and every Tuesday he obtains discarded books for free. These books are definitely older from the 60s -80s, a few out of print but many are classics in perfect condition. He often provides me with 4-6 boxes of books a month for my little libraries, so I am pretty lucky. In fact, I got a Pride and Prejudice from his last lot that I then gave out for my Jane Austin Literacy Tea Brunch. Bottom line - library book sales are really a great place to build up one’s own library.❤❤❤
Yes! The bag sales are amazing! Finding an Austen book in the stack is always a bonus. I feel the same with my little free library. I'm just moving the books around until the right reader find them. :)
You found some really good books here! I wish the library sales around me had bargain prices like that! I love that you picked up 2 copies of the 'Personal Librarian' - 1 for your LFL! I've done that often when I've purchased a book I find I have when I get home.😮 I tend to find many of my used books on e-bay or thriftbooks, if I'm looking for something particular, as well as a local used bookshop chain around my state. I need to find the other Lucy Worsley books - I found 'The Austen Girls' in a LFL recently. I want to find 'Lady Mary' and 'Queen Victoria'. Syrie James -- 💞💞 'Dracula, My Love' is the one you were thinking of... I purchased it when I picked up the others. I LOVED 'The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen'. enjoy growing your HF shelf!
Thank you for watching! Dracula, My Love is great. She also has a book called Nocturne. It’s very unique in that is only has two characters in the story. I do travel about 3 hours back home to Michigan to do my library shopping. There are so many great places to find used books. Glad I’m not the only one to grab multiple copies. 😊
Library book sales are the best! You can score some incredible gems at amazing prices. Looks like you did just that! I read 'Water For Elephants' and loved it! It's one of my favourite books and it will always have a place on my bookshelf. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Oooo! Now I'm even more excited to read it! I wouldn't have the home library that I do if it wasn't for library sales. What's been your best find?
@@janeaustenliteracyfoundation At my age, much too many to mention! 😃 I love a good find. Just about every week, I visit a thrift shop and almost always run across an amazing deal. I enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres.
@@ReadingThroughLife I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I love his fic too. I love the thrill of not knowing what hidden gem you might find when you are used book shopping. ❤️📖
