Come join the fun this weekend in the Liverpool Public Library’s underground garage.
There will be no parking allowed there today until Monday morning. We must make way for the annual Used Book Sale Down Under.
That means there will be more than 80,000 donated and withdrawn-from-the-library-shelves books, DVDs and CDs stacked on tables waiting for you to take them home.
Without further ado, here are the Top 10 reasons why you should come check out what will be going on at the corner of Second and Tulip streets.

- 9. You’ve always wanted to buy a matching James Patterson novel for everybody in your family.
- 8. For $1.50 hardcover, 50 cents paperback.
- 7. It’s time to blow that layer of dust off your living room CD player.
- 6. This century’s Bruce Springsteen CDs sound awesome.
- 5. For $1 each.
- 4. Binge-watching is really easy with a stack of DVDs.
- 3. $12 for a dozen will Net you enough Flix for a 24-hour session.
