Event Spotlight: Newberry Library Book Fair
The weekend all us used-book-lovers wait for in rapt anticipation is upon us -- that of the Newberry Library Book Fair. With four days and 110,000 donated used books in 70 categories to go through, it'll be a task not to come home with arms sore from carrying loads of cheaply priced books (most are under $2!). The Fair will run Thursday-Sunday with varying hours; check the website for hours on the specific day you'd like to visit. On Saturday there will also be a round of Bughouse Square debates in the nearby Washington Square Park where you can celerate the city's long history of promoting free speech. And don't overlook that Sunday is Half Price Day, so if you can stand to wait until then your patience will likely be rewarded. The Newberry Library is located at 60 W. Walton and admission is free. Call 312-255-3510 for questions and information.
