I’ve completed thinning out my library according to the guidelines I published earlier. Several associates, teachers and mentees have perused the boxes. Some books were displayed on our yard sale as well. However, few lookers took more than a small handful. Seems like I remember coming away from such opportunities 20 years ago with armloads. But the internet, the availability of cheap books and the busyness of contemporary life has created a different day. So far JoAnne and I are finding that the demand for used books is very small. A few classic authors were still desired. But most who looked at the books said they already had too many books and didn’t have room for more. There will still be opportunity to look over some of my books of books for a couple days. I will probably start disposing of them early this next week so I can start packing the shelved ones to go to CT.
