Sign of a Better Season: Saturday's South End Library Book Sale Was NOT Rained Out...

The South End Library's Book Sale was bravely held at adjacent Library Park and....the gods of weather blessed it by not raining it out. A steady stream of pedestrians with newly-found pre-owned books in hand traversed the streets leading to and from the library's sale, a sign that some happiness was achieved by the annual give-and-take of non-digital treasures priced at as little as 50 cents and one dollar. Thanks to the outstanding library staff who organized it, that is, Anne Smart, George Bernhardt-Miller and Margaret Gardner, and thanks to the many volunteers who showed up. And thanks to Chris Treacy of South End Patch, who wrote a nice article about the book sale in Friday's edition.
