August 7, Brooklyn.
If last year was the year of the garage sale traveler, this year is becoming the year of the library sale traveler.
There were all sorts of activities going on in this small town today (a new town for the Kelly Miller Circus,) a "Dog Days of August" dog parade, a carnival (shiny sleeper trailers roaring by,) and an outdoor fair, but it had to include, right there among the shops' displays on main street, across from the dog contest ("The dog is from Phoenix. Are you from Phoenix?") a two-dollar-a-bag library book sale.
What can I say, there is still some space in the rear left-hand corner of the truck.

I know what you mean about the book sales! Two years ago, Georgia and I went to libraries all the time and found a book sale in almost every one we visited. I found several old and rare children circus books that I could have never found anywhere else!
And who could resist the prices?!
The other day at a garage sale I found some children's books from the fifties, one of them about going to the moon that says: "One day we'll go to the moon, and you will too." President Kennedy hadn't even been voted in yet... Priceless.
