Cutting boxes

I am the volunteer guy who goes in once in awhile and cuts up the boxes at Beacon Reads. MAN have I been delinquent. I must have cut up 50 boxes tonight. That means MORE BOOKS are here, MORE VIDEOS, MORE... whatever. We even have EMPTY VHS cases, plastic and clear. Know anyone looking for them? We have a lot.

I gotta drop off some books soon, too. I finished all of Augusten Burroughs' books so I will drop them off soon, along with a bloated bag of my wife's trashy novels and dime thrillers.

Don't tell her I said that.

Dead Of Winter

But we are still open. We have many new volunteers and the store is open regularly on Saturday and Sunday at noon.

As always we have more books that we know what to do with. If you are looking for a good deal on books any time of the week, this is the place to go.

Holy Cow

I have not been to the store in awhile but man are we flush with books. Don't look now but I hear there will be a sale during the Spirit of Beacon day, Sept 28th. I can't find a reliable link to anything about that.

The bookstore will be open that day and we will be selling books at even more cutthroat prices than usual.

Up To The Nose With Videos Again

I have not worked the store in awhile, but the other volunteers have been busy. The Howland Library unloaded some old videos on us and there are boxes of them sitting on the floor. Some are old titles, some are recent. Some are movies, others are instructional videos. Stop in for a look!

I spent a few hours last night collapsing old boxes. We get so many donations over time that we have to get rid of the containers they came to us in.

I also got a decent crowd for working three hours. I met a few people in the town, had a few regulars, too. Nice to see a city active on a Thursday night.

Hey, You Never Know...

I'm not saying you might find a Pollack in our trash or a first edition of Tom Sawyer in our back room, but you might find a hard to find book you have been looking for.

I recently sold a copy of some relatively rare books that sell elsewhere for a lot more than we ask.

Come in and dig around, you never know what you'll find
