Library Book Sale
|
The University Library´s annual sale of books, records, and other materials is open to the entire campus. Weather permitting, the sale will be on the steps of the Rockefeller Library (10 Prospect St.), otherwise it will be inside the Rockefeller Library.
On a personal note, as a student at Brown, the library book sale was always one of my favorite events. Every year, I planned to only stop by for a quick browse and I always ended up going home with an armful of books.
