The Boston Public Library is an awesome place to hang out. Whether you’re a bookworm and want to search through the millions of books (not an exaggeration, it’s the 2nd largest public library in the US) or you just want to get a coffee and sit in the courtyard, it’s easy to lose track of time and spend a whole day there.
The first Saturday of every even-numbered month (don’t as me how they came up with that system…), the BPL has a book sale from 10am-4pm. Unfortunately, that means the last one was October 4th so you’ll have to wait a while until the next one on December 6th, but it’s worth marking your calendar for.
They have books, DVD’s, old records, CD’s, and even video games. All the books are $1 for a paperback, $2 for a hardcover, and pretty much everything else is under $5. I managed to find some anthology-type books, and walk away with 9 books for only $4!
