Just Guess How Much All These Books Cost At The Lorton Library

Like to buy books cheap? The Lorton Library's book sale offers donated books for the lowest prices in town!

And the price for the books in the picture above? At $1 per hard cover and .50 cents for paperbacks (and you can buy three for $1) the entire bunch cost $5.

"You can find some deals," said Anne Heising, a librarian at the Lorton branch. "I bought these South African art books for $3 - a dollar apiece. I looked them up and they're worth $300."

The library, 9250 Richmond Hwy., uses the proceeds to fund magazine subscriptions, buy extra books for the collection and programming support.
