PSA: Used Book Sale

Owen and I are always on the look out for “new” old books for our collection. In fact, we just added a book of Thomas Jefferson’s writings published in 1857. UWM is having a used book sale this week. Here’s the info:

   The Friends of the Golda Meir Library will hold their fall used book sale October 11-13.

   Over 6,000 books in a wide variety of genres — including contemporary fiction, foreign languages, history, literature, and poetry — will be offered. There will also be LPs available, mostly classical music.

   The sale will be held in the fourth floor Conference Center of the library.

   Days and hours are:

        • Mon., Oct. 11, noon to 6 pm UWM students, faculty and staff only (with valid ID)

        • Tue., Oct. 12, 10 am to 6 pm Open to the public

        • Wed., Oct. 13, 10 am to 4 pm Open to the public

   Prices of most items range from 25¢ to $3. On Wednesday, Oct. 13, a bag of books will cost just $3.

   Proceeds benefit the UWM Libraries. For more information, call (414) 229-4786.

  1. Sometimes I wish I had more time than books, instead of more books than I have time to read.

    Anyway, thanx for publicizing this book sale.
