Touchdown, baby!

So what does the Austin Public Library do with all of the books and records that they don't think they need anymore?  They liquidate them at the future location of the Twin Oaks branch, formerly the Post Office.

I scored big, as they sold me an entire box of books of my choice for only five dollars.  I scored a Norton anthology, a New York Public Library Desk Reference and a whole bunch of other worthwhile books for next to nothing.  I actually felt like I was picking up books for free after I'd bagged the first few.

Every now and again, they have the Monster Book Sale (watch the library events calendar for that) and the prices are higher then, but they have a lot more to choose from.  Otherwise, they offer this outrageous deal on the leftovers.  "Keep Austin Reading!"

I was so excited about this book sale- turns out I made a big mistake though.  Go early!  I went too late, and saw lots of other excited people carrying towering piles of excellent books they were about to purchase on the crazy cheap.  At least they got some good ones!
