Bookworms peruse plethora of literature
BUTLER TWP — Those who love the feel, smell and general comfort of a book’s pages descended on the Butler Farm Show Grounds on Thursday to grab up some books, CDs, DVDs, audio books or albums on the first day of the Butler Bookfest.
More than 120,000 books, all neatly sorted in categories, were available to readers on Thursday morning at a cost of no more than $5 each.
“Most are about $3,” said Ben Wilkinson, owner of Mr. Bookman, the Franklin company that organized the book sale with the help of volunteers from four local public libraries.
Butler Bookfest will continue from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
