I'm unsure when I'll be able to do my next book sale at the Caspar Community Center. Probably not in November of this year as I has planned, hopefully sometime in 2021.

I have been finding home for lots of books in the Little Free Libraries that have sprung up on the coast. I am actively thinning out my collection of books and have donated nearly 1500 to the local LFL's. With bookstores and public libraries mostly closed the LFL's have been seeing a lot of action. I have created a list, along with pictures and directions to the LFL's that I have located on one of my blogs and hope that you will check it out and also visit some of the little free libraries to take and leave books. One just recently opened up down in Elk and I just got an email from someone that will soon open another here in Fort Bragg. Happy booking. Below is a link to my other blog.

January Book Sale in Caspar

I just created this new flyer for the sale that we will be doing at the Caspar Community Center when they have the monthly fund
raising breakfast on January 26th. My friend Annie Lee who brings textiles and jewelry back from her trips to Guatemala will be sharing the north room of the center with me. Some of the profits from her sales will help support artisans and scholarships for students down there. Carlie and I will be showing our latest mixed metal jewels and I, in the role of the Caspar Bookster will put out 25 to 30 boxes of a great variety of gently used books. I'm really culling out my large collection of books, gave 74 boxes to the Fort Bragg library and local thrift stores this past year and hope to do that with 100 boxes this year. My current rule is that for every book that I acquire I have to get rid of 4. I must confess though that my book obsession is not quite over yet, but I only buy books that I feel are special in some way. And, of course, I'm always looking for ones that have more than ordinary value, just found one at a thrift store that I believe will sell for $160 or so on the internet. The looking for treasure game which I'm sort of addicted to.  I'll have my 77th birthday 2 days after the sale. How did that happen?
