Northfield Book Fair

Anyone want to take a field trip to the Northfield Book Fair (Formerly the Northfield Book Raid!)?!

This is one of the largest book fairs in MN with over 70,000 books, recordings and other items!

Most books are priced to go as this is a fundraising event, I think hardbacks are typically $1-$3 and paperbacks are usually even less!
They have some boxes for carrying your selections around but bringing a book bag or like a farmer’s market cart is a great idea.

I plan to go on the 21st a little early - if you want to go with a group, comment if a different day and/or time works for you and we can schedule a meet-up time and place accordingly!
There are usually so many books that I typically go multiple times during the sale, just to have enough time to comb through everything.
Books are organized into categories by volunteers and are somewhat organized further, by author last name.
