Annual Library event features more than 14,000 volumes

Members of the Northwestern community, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni (with a valid WildCard or alumni ID), are invited to preview Northwestern University Library’s annual book sale—and take advantage of the best selection—on Tuesday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. With more than 14,000 new and used books, this year’s Library book sale is bigger than ever, featuring a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, with an especially good selection of books in literary criticism, journalism and media, business, science and technology, and Northwestern University Press overstock. The sale also includes CDs, DVDs, and VHS cassettes, as well as vintage record albums and periodicals.

Located in the Ver Steeg Lounge, on the third floor of the Library’s south tower (1970 Campus Drive, Evanston), the sale opens to the general public on Wednesday, November 15, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It continues Thursday, November 16 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), when all books will be 50 percent off, and closes Friday, November 17 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), when any remaining items will be deeply discounted.

Hardcover books cost $3 each; quality paperbacks are $2; and mass market paperbacks are $.50 apiece. Payment is by cash or check only. For more information about the book sale, go to www.library.northwestern.edu/booksale/ or call Jessica Bartlett at x1-2932.
