Book Sale in Cranston

From Steve Stycos of the Cranston School Committee:

BOOK SALE

The Pawtuxet Village Farmers’ Market will hold a used book and CD sale Saturday October 6 from 9 to 12:30 at the market on Rhodes Place, just off Broad Street in Cranston. Rhodes Place is the access road to Rhodes on the Pawtuxet.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit the market’s berry box recycling program and other environmental efforts. Book and CD donations are needed and can be dropped anytime on the front porches at 25 Berwick Lane, 10 & 18 Williams Avenue and 37 Ferncrest Avenue. All four porches are in Edgewood. Please no damaged or moldy books and no magazines.

Please consider coming to the sale and buying some fresh fruit and vegetables at the same time.

I’m donating some of my books and hoping to pick up some more for myself and my family, clients, co-workers, and friends. The prices should be right ($1 per item, or thereabouts) and books can also be donated on the day of the sale.

  1. oh no! save me before i buy again! i’ll show up with one box of books and take home three.
    last time i went to a book sale in that area i came home with a complete library of books and magazines about the apollo space program. a lot of nerds and collectors live there.

  2. Book sales are the bane of the bibliophile, but also that paradise we need. What frst edition lies in the box or on the cart, and it is all in a good cause, so no guilt going home with an armfull. Wish I was there, but our library has its Fall book and bake sale on the 13th. You are all welcome–best greenchile cheeseburgers in the world at the Owl Bar.

  3. It is amazing what a fresh infusion of knowledge and/or storytelling can do for life. I got two canvas bags full of books, DVDs, and videos at the Marion J. Mohr library sale in Johnston a couple of weeks ago. One of the books I picked up was “Reach” by Laila Ali, Muhammed Ali’s daughter who became a boxer. It is an amazing story and proved particularly useful in engaging some of my clients more in their treatment. We did a group where we read aloud two of the chapters covering the time when Laila goes into juvenile detention and then into residential placement. When she was going through this turbulent time in her life, her father did not have any contact with her, almost as if she didn’t exist. She also describes two times when she was molested in her childhood and talks about how she had to come to terms with this.

    Anyway, this is the kind of book I would never even look at in a book store, but when it’s 10 bucks to fill a bag, you cancast your net wide and scoop up lots of books for yourself and the people around you.

  4. Mr Wolberg, I will plan any trip I make out your way to coincide with the book sale.

    Books and greenchile cheeseburgers sounds like a great combination.

  5. You will be welcome any time Klaus and if you bring your boots, you can ride one of our horses. You can also get a tour of the VLA radiotelescopes near here that get into all the scifi moveies from 2010 to Jodie Foster in Contact.
