I'll be MIA for a few days because I'll be BIB (Buried in Books). This weekend is the annual book sale for an organization where I serve on the Board. Every year we fill a Ballroom at the local event center with around 40,000 books that have been donated and sell them all weekend. At the end, we give away the leftovers and start all over for next year. Another 40,000 donations will come in during the year and our town only has a population of about 10,000 (year round). We raise over $30,000 annually for our local library. I'm proud of our little town and the talented hard-working people who live here.
So no blogging or commenting from me for a few days, but I'll try to read when I can. Have a great weekend everyone! And support you Local Library!

Meow, I love my local library! Between checking out books or downloading ebooks or audiobooks, I use mine several times a month. (Each time, I remind myself how happy I am that some of my tax dollars go to support such a wonderful concept.)
Good on ya for your work in your community and kudos to your community for being so committed. You should be proud.
Meow,
I love our local library and will be returning some books later today!
I knew I liked you, but now that I know you're a book lover, you're better than ever:)!!!

What a fantastic cause! I guess it's worth missing you for a few days. Just don't forget to come back.

That's great Meow. A lot of our library's in the UK have closed or our closing as councils don't have enough money to keep them going. Such a shame. I used to love to go to my local library after school or on Saturdays.
Love,

Thanks to all! I'll let you know how it goes!
I'm such a bookworm! I buy People mag mostly for the awesome book reviews so I can get them on my iPad. Have a wonderful event!!
Stormy, As a big library supporter, I'm almost ashamed to say that I but most of my books for my iPad, too. Our library is looking into "digital lending" options so who knows.....?
That sounds awesome. I take my kids to the library all the time. Have fun!
Yikes, I meant that I BUY books for my iPad, not but them.
Have fun, Meow!!!xxxxxxxxxxxx
