Among other things happening this July 4th (which I’ll blog about separately), the Bend Public Library is having one of their big book sales on that day. It’s running from 10am to 4pm down at the Library Administration Building at 507 NW Wall Street (just south of the main library building), on Tuesday the 4th. Their blurb says, "Thousands of books of all kinds for sale: fiction, nonfiction, travel books, children’s books. Music CD’s and free books too!"

The sign I saw at the library said hardcovers would be priced at $1, and softcovers for 50 cents (or cheaper, maybe). That’s a great deal, but in general, the earlier you can get there, the better. Pickings get pretty slim as the day wears on. At any rate, I think I’m going to try to get down there sometime after the Pet Parade, if all goes well.
