At Hubbard library's annual sale, you can find it all


HUBBARD

When you first step into the room, it hits you: You can have it all.

You can have health and humor and poetry; mystery and travel and religion; science, crafts and sports.

You can have it in hardcover — $1. In paperback — 25 cents. In CDs and DVDs — $1. In VHS, most of which are free. In cassettes and in LP records — 25 cents, and in book sets for $5.

Do you maybe need some office furniture and equipment?

Why not check out the Friends of the Hubbard Library Mega Book Sale, which continues today through Saturday at the Library, 436 W. Liberty St.?

The sale began Wednesday with people lined up to get in at 7:45 a.m., said Bonnie Viele, Friends’ book sale chairwoman. The doors did not open until 9 a.m.

The big attraction? Box after box of books on tables lined up in the large room on the library’s first floor. The group has been collecting the donated books and other items all year.

In walking around the room, it’s easy to see how you can spend hours just browsing. In the first row alone, some big names were calling out.

In a box under the “Humor” category, Drew Carey was ready with “Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined.”

Next to him in a box labeled “Sports,” Arnold Palmer offered up a talk on “My Game and Yours,” while Cal Ripkin Jr. only wanted to discuss “My Story.” Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, insisted, “It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life.”

A few tables down, the category called “Health” beckoned with advice on “Foods that Harm, Foods that Heal.” Even learn to eat well in the wilderness with “Roughing it Easy: A Camper’s Bible.”
