Durham Library Book Sale

We made it out to the library bag sale at the Main Branch on Sunday. People were grabbing paper bags and stuffing them with armloads of mainly novels for $7 a bag. Outside, under the tent, non-bag sale items were available for $.50 per paperback and $1 per hardback. The children’s section was slim, but I bet on Friday there was a much fuller selection.

I snagged several books of photography, an inspirational Circus Techniques guide, one from the eighties titled Ventriloquism Made Easy (aka Dummies for Dummies), a book on trees, a St. Louis Cardinals baseball card guide, and a delightful spiral-bound collection of essays by an Ellen Holmes Baer, a local in perhaps Rougemont?, called Lessons from Apple Trees, Rainy Days, and Johnny Woodchuck. A very soothing read. I’m surprised she hasn’t published more.
