Book Sale at Vogelson Branch: June 7th and 8th

Waiting for the book sale to begin

The Vogelson Branch will hold one of the largest used-book sales in South Jersey on Friday, June 7, from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Choose from 25 to 50 thousand books, CDs, videos, books-on-tape and more for sale at drastically reduced prices. About ninety percent of the items are donated by customers, collectors and estates, with used library materials making up only about ten percent of the items at the Spring Book Sale.  Typically hundreds of book-lovers, bargain hunters and book dealers from the tri-state area are attracted to the event where 99 percent of the items will be priced between fifty cents and two dollars, with nothing over three dollars, according to William Brahms, branch manager of our M. Allan Vogelson Regional Branch Library in Voorhees.

All proceeds from the sale will go to support programs for customers of the Camden County Library System.

Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

After deciding that no new fiction was worthy last year, the Pulitzer Prize committee has now awarded the 2013 prize for distinguished fiction to Adam Johnson, for The Orphan Master's Son. Called a "daring and remarkable novel" by the New York Times, Johnson's novel takes reader on an adventure following Pak Jun Do, the son of an influential man who runs an orphan work camp, as he rises to his own prominence. 
Also noteworthy were the 2 finalists:

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by Nathan Englander

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

The winner for General Nonfiction was Devil in the Grove : Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a new America by Gilbert King.  For Biography, the honor was given to The Black Count : Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss.
