Reading. You’re doing it right now!

You can do some more of it by heading to Cobb County’s 2018 Fall Book Sale starting at 9 a.m. on Friday. All profits go to buying more items for Cobb’s 17 libraries.

There’ll be everything from novels and children’s books to DVDs; prices range from 10 cents to $4, and bring either cash or a check.

The sale will again be held at the civic center, 548 S. Marietta Parkway, and will also run on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday. All days end at 5 p.m.

Sunday is Bring Your Own “Box” day, when everything you can fit in a “box” is at the most $20. It should really be Bring Your Own Container Day because you can use everything from suitcases to strollers, but BYOC sounds weird.
