Book Fair alert

For many people fall means glorious leaves, pumpkins and apple cider.
For me, and other bargain book hunters, it also means the season of book fairs. At these events there areÂÂ thousands of books, DVDs and assorted tapes for much less than their original price. And, the proceeds benefit the libraries helping friends groups sponsor special programs and events.
And this posting, gives me the opportunity to remindÂÂ readers about, Booksalefinder.com, a Web site which lists book fairs across the country.ÂÂ This site has been around since 1994, but is gaining speed each year. There is a map of the United States and you just click on the state and then scroll to your location. I’ve even checked out states and have found a book fair that was being held just where I was vacationing.
Here are some upcoming fairs in our region:
• Oct. 11-12: Kent Library book fair sponsored by the Friends of Kent Library. Hours 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 11 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 12, at Kent Town Hall, 40 Sybil’s Crossing in the Kent Town Complex off Route 52.
