Book Sale

Lincoln Central Library is running a book sale on Free School Lane, and it's a long one: it's been on since 26 October and keeps going until Saturday 7 November. If you're in the city, you've got a good window to pop in whenever suits you best.

The whole point of it is right there in the description: they're clearing out the shelves to make room for new stock. That's the kind of sale where the library is actively trying to move things on, so it's a proper chance to bag a bargain. If you're the sort of reader who can't resist a second-hand shelf, this is exactly that, and the longer it runs, the more you can pick your moment rather than rushing in on a single afternoon.

It's held at the library itself, so you'll find it on Free School Lane, LN2 1EZ, right in the heart of Lincoln. It's open from 9am to 4pm every day it's running, which is handy if you're popping in on a lunch break or just after the morning rush. Since it's on for nearly two weeks, there's plenty of time to wander through without feeling like you've missed out if you can't make it on a particular day.

So, if you've been meaning to build up your home library without spending a fortune, this is a good one to keep in mind. It runs from 26 October to 7 November, 9am to 4pm daily, at Lincoln Central Library on Free School Lane.
