are still people who like to buy used books. Also, we have a few used book dealers who shop at our sales. We are going to start doing a perpetual sale using book shelves near the circulation desk. The cash register will have a "Friends" key and our sales will automatically be tallied. On of the branches in our system is already doing this and it has worked well. It will be a lot easier than having an actual sale in Spring and Fall each year.
