A Buck a Bag Book Sale Haddon Twp. Library
Right off Cuthbert/Nicholson Rd. in Haddon Twp, across from Newton Creek Park and Saddler's Woods is my new library. I found it when I discovered free Chair Yoga classes a few months back and I was able to join for free as my town, Mt. Ephraim, has no library.
It is a lovely library, bright and well equipped with a good deal of interesting programming. Yesterday I went over and since my shopping bag was larger than a plastic bag, I paid two dollars but I got 6 good hard back books and 8 magazines. Have you noticed how much magazines cost off the rack these days? All the magazines I bought: New York, National Geographic, Philadelphia, and Country Living, were only a month old - March to May 2018, and in perfect condition. I bought a bunch of books by authors I recognized such as Jeff Schaara (mainly epic historic fiction) and I know him from my Civil War collection, and Amy Tan (who wrote a best seller once called The Joy Luck Club). And a few authors I did not know but the books looked good. Anyhow how could you go wrong on nickels and dimes on the dollar?
Meanwhile they also said I could bring books to them to donate also, but only one box at a time, a small box! So any of the contemporary fiction I have finished that none of my friends want, I will bring to them to add to their sale!
For rainy days when you can't be out on adventures, stock up for indoor adventures!
Happy Trails!
