Science fiction fans don't miss sale!

Those zany Buzzells and all their BFFs over at the Brentwood Library are at it again: Working 24/7 in anticipation of the next Friends of the Brentwood Library used book sale.
Always on the ball, Pat Buzzell emailed last week reminding me that the summer sale opens at 1 p.m. July 22 and runs through the half-priced sale on Saturday, July 25. You'll find all the hours, etc. below.
While every sale is worth the stop, Manny Buzzell tells me this one will be special for several reasons. For starters, it's the last one that will be limited in size due to the library expansion's construction.
"Our new Friends room in the addition will be half again the size of the former so we should be able to store roughly 15,000 hard covers," he said.
A positive that has come from temporarily having a smaller space, though, has been the advent of the free cart and the wall of books available for purchase whenever the library is open.
"One woman said she had been searching for The Canterbury Tales and found it on the free cart!" Manny shared. If you or your child has summer reading that's yet to be completed, or has signed up for a great books or literature class in the fall, the book sale is a great place to snag classics for next to nothing.
One of the biggest coups this time around, however, is the donation by one person of almost 10 "berryboxes" of science fiction paperbacks.
"That's about out 500-plus paperbacks for any science fiction fan," Manny added.
Of course you'll also find plenty of ficture, non-fiction, children's books, videos, CDs and collectibles too. And if you have books to donate, it's not too late. Donations are welcome at the library whenever it's open.
