#RockportME #BookSale - #RockportPublicLibrary

March 28 @ 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

"Like the daffodils and tulips, the first Friends of the Rockport Public Library Book Sale of the year is a beloved harbinger of spring. This year’s event will be held in the Rockport Library’s lower level on Friday and Saturday, Mar. 27 and 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"As always, tables will be filled with extraordinary deals on thousands of books, #CDs, #DVDs, #puzzles, and #audiobooks. Planning to buy a lot? Join the Friends of the Rockport Public Library for $20 and receive a purple tote to fill up with books at no additional charge. Refill the tote at book sales in June and September for only $10. If you already bought your tote in December, don’t forget to bring it back for your $10 refill.

"The Friends will have an especially large selection of puzzles, DVDs, and audiobooks at this sale, thanks to generous donations. Spring is also a great time to stock up on #GardeningBooks and #Crafting books (graduation and wedding season is just around the corner — time to make something special).

"All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Rockport Public Library. Only cash and checks are able to be accepted."

Looking for a new owner for GAEUL'S book.

Although I don't watch that much Kpop content besides MVs and stages, how could I, Kpop lover and Half Price Books habitué, resist this video of Gaeul's first visit to a second hand bookshop?

Prepare to be charmed!

Well now this is strange. I could swear none of these books were in my suitcase at the beginning of this trip

Best-loved Indie used/rare bookstores visited to date

Identified below are my favorite independent used bookstores that have been visited thus far. Not included are chains like Half-Price Books. Several of those listed are also sellers of rare and collectible books, as well. While many bookstores today sell some used/rare books, this list emphasizes those shops that primarily focus on used and/or rare books.

As more used/rare bookstores are visited both here and abroad, the treasured ones will be added to this list. Stay tuned!

Peace!
