Tara and I went to the Wake County Library Book Sale on Saturday, where all the hardbacks were $2 and all the paperbacks were 50 cents. It was great! We each spent about $30, and have enough books to last us for awhile.
The sale was held in a grocery store that had gone out of business. Picture a grocery store with all the shelves filled with books. Also all the freezer cases and refrigeration cases and meat cases all filled with books.
We went on the 6th day of the sale, and the next day was the day people could fill a grocery bag with books and pay $2 for the bag. There was no way that whole store was going to be empty in one more day. When we were there, it had more books in it than our regional library.

I want to invite everyone to attend our stake's Nativity celebration. Every year all the people in our stake loan our nativity scenes to the church to put in a big display. I'm guessing there are about 300 or more nativity scenes, of all different materials and origins. I always have about 25 to loan.
There are also live musical performances the whole time, and a Messiah Sing-In from 7:30-9 pm on Saturday.
The Apex Christmas Nativity Celebration will be held Thurs. Dec. 10, 6-9 pm, Fri. Dec. 11 6-9 pm, and Sat. Dec. 12, 1-9 pm at our stake center at 590 Bryan Drive, Apex.

The Young Adult ward is in charge of the children's room, so I will probably be in there helping out.
I love nativities too. Did Seth tell you I collect them also? Here is an amazing web site of nativities. www.worldnativity.com
