If you're smart, you probably love books. If you're not, putting a bunch of them on a shelf might help fool people into thinking you are. Either way, everyone needs books, and this weekend's Used Book Sale at the Denver Public Library is an excellent opportunity to fill that need.

Paperbacks cost fifty cents and hardbacks are $2, with certain "better books" priced higher. The sale runs today at the Central Library, 10 West 14th Avenue Parkway, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. — but the good stuff goes fast, so it's smart to start early. Visit www.denverlibrary.org or call 720-865-2051 for more information.
Sat., Aug. 25, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sun., Aug. 26, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
