Seattleites, take note: the Friends of the Library book sale is this weekend, from April 17-19. If you've been before, then you know what a huge shopportunity this is - an airplane hangar FULL of tables loaded with boxes and boxes of books, for $1 each! Over 200,000 items are offered in the sale (a combination of donated books and former library books), so if you can't find an armful of awesome deals, it's your own fault.
NOTE: BYO BAG! Don't be like me my first time, naively assuming that they'll provide you with strong shopping bags to carry away your loot. Bring a strong tote, boxes, or even rolling suitcases to haul your goodies home (they've seen it all).
Location: Magnuson Park, Hangar in Building #30, 7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, 98115.
The park may be reached by Metro bus routes 30, 74, and 75. Free parking is available.
Friday, April 17: 6:30- 9:30 p.m. Member preview sale. Members may purchase up to 25 items. Memberships $15 in advance; $30 at the door.
Saturday, April 18: 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.
Sunday, April 19: 11 a.m.- 4 p.m.
