AAUW 2014 Used Books Sale

This afternoon I got at the AAWL Used Books Sale around 2:30 PM. My friend Tim showed up soon after I got in line for used book sale. The doors for the used books sale did not open till 4 o'clock PM. So Tim and I talked till the doors opened for the general public to look at the used books and to buy what they could find for their own libraries. I am right now very tired so I do not know if what am writing makes sense but I will list the used books I got today for our library-
