Book lovers looking for something to do should go to the Raleigh City Museum
9 Jan
Dear Book-Loving Triangle Residents,
If you’re like me, you love perusing eclectic titles and you love a good deal. That’s why you must make an effort to visit the Raleigh City Museum sometime between Saturday and Jan. 17. That’s when the downtown museum is hosting its twice-a-year book sale.
You might remember that I went to the sale this summer and didn’t want to leave:
The titles were impressive, including many classics, some old textbooks and an impressive children’s book selection that brought back memories of my “Choose Your Own Adventure” and “Fear Street” reading days. I could have spent an hour or more scouring the tables for titles. But not all of my friends were thrilled about spending Friday night browsing used books, so I paid for my 1950s edition of Huckleberry Finn, a biography about Freud and some retro mini-Hallmark greeting books with plans to return
The sale also includes CDs, DVDs and other odds and ends, the museum reports. And while you’re there, you can even check out the [R]evolution of Media exhibit, which explores the history of newspaper, television and radio in Raleigh (basically it’s just a big promotional exhibit for WRAL and the News and Observer, which makes sense since they dominated the local media market for so long. Still, the exhibit is still pretty interesting even if my station isn’t really represented).
So consider this your head’s up. The book sale is definitely worth the trip.
Sincerely,
Your book-loving blogger,
Ginny Skalski
Thanks for the heads-up on this Ginny! When you going? Maybe I could meet you? It’d be great to see you again!
@John I’m not sure what day I’ll make it, but it will probably have to be during lunch one day because I’m going to be busy Saturday. But we’ll definitely get to meet up again soon. Maybe we should go bowling one of these days.
Haha, Fear Street. It was for the more “mature” audiences. I definitely cheated with the Goosebumps Choose Your Own Adventures.
I definitely need to stack up on the modern authors and get away from the classics.
I’m so going to make time to go there this week! Thanks for the tip.
