A story seems to have even more potential when it’s accompanied by a dusty, used-book smell. The narrative has already lived for other people: It’s been enjoyed, passed around, and its pages creased by strangers with whom you suddenly have something in common.
We can all find some new-to-us books, CDs, and DVDs at this week’s Gigantic Used Book Sale, now in its 35th year thanks to the Denver Public Library’s Friends Foundation.
That's only $1 per issue!
The sale, which features over 60,000 items, takes place at the Denver Central Library on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The prices are budget-friendly to everyone: Hard covers are $3, paperbacks range from 50 cents to $1, and DVDs, CDs, and audio books are $1.
Itching for a peek at the used loot? Attend a Members-Only Preview Party on Wednesday by joining the Friends Foundation.
