A Librarian's Day Off!
So what does a librarian do with a day off? Like many of you, Friday found me home from work. Initially I had very little planned, sleep late, read, run a few errands. All that changed when I was reading Thursday's Hartford Courant. Korky Vann's Savvy Shopper column caught my eye. By the way, Ms. Vann will be doing a program about Living On Less at our library on April 22nd but that's another story. Highlighted in her April 9th column was a tease about the opening of Bestseller Book Outlet in Plainville, a remainder store that promised 75% of on all books. This is enough to make a librarian's knees quake. I immediately knew I'd be there on Friday, but how to get my husband to agree. What did I buy? A fairly new book about the Terra Cotta Warriors, a Healthy Cooking For IBS cookbook, a guide to wine grapes, a couple of Chicken Soup for the Soul books (yup, I'm a sucker for those), and a historical true crime story about Mary Surrat and the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln. Given a bit more time I'm certain I could have found a great deal more. Next time, the store will be my only destination so I can give it my undivided attention. |
