IMCPL Book Sale 1/23-25/09

This weekend there is a Library Booksale at the Library Services Center. This is a great place to find books for yourself or your children.

I like to have books available for the kids to look at, and if I've only paid .50 or $1.00 for the book, I don't feel bad if a page or two gets ripped while they develop a love for books.

As you see, we love books!

Children's Museum of Indianapolis Membership Discount - Today is Last Day

This is the LAST DAY of this promotion.  So if you would like to get a membership at a great deal you can go online and order it on The Children's Museum website.  

I think this is a good deal!  Here is the breakdown:

Family Membership = $75 (after discount).   That is only $6.25 a month.  Less than the price of 2 Happy Meals at McDonald's and much healthier!

Family Membership +2 = $100 (after discount).   That is only  $8.34 a month.   Normally a youth ticket is $8.50 per ticket! 

I personally like the "+2 memberships"  because we can take visiting Grandparents or friends with us that way.  To purchase an adult ticket is $13.50 so if you would have more than 1 visitor come with you during the year it is worth the extra $25 up front.  (I have added the "+2"onto a regular membership partially into the year,  at a prorated rate- so if you just don't have the extra $25 now that might be an option for you.)

Here is recent post I did on this promotion:

If you have been thinking about a membership to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, now is a great time to get one!  They are running the following promotion:

"Enjoy a day of fun with the family and feel like a kid.

From Nov. 1 – 26 all of our visitors receive youth admission pricing or $25 off basic and plus memberships. We hope to see you soon.

Please note: offer not valid with any other offers and not available with online ticket purchase."

Don't delay, this offer ends November 26th!

1/2 Price Book Sale Today - IMCPL Library Service Center

Today there is a 1/2 Price used book sale downtown at the Library Services Center.  This is a great way to get your kids books and a great resource for homeschoolers too!  

I stocked up at this sale when my 5 year old was a baby.  He loved books, and still does, but I didn't fret too much if he tore a page in a book I had paid $.50 for!  I felt I could let him enjoy the pages and pictures and not be concerned too much if a few of the books didn't survive.

The book sale will be from 12 - 7:30.  And the Library Services Center is located at 2450 N. Meridian St.,  Indianapolis, IN 46208

You can find out more information on the IMCPL Library's website here.

If you can't make it Friday there will be a $5 a bag day on Saturday from 10 - 4.

IMCPL Book Sale

This weekend begins the November Book Sale at the Library Services Center. This is a great place to pick up books of all kinds! I have found great children's books, story tapes, homeschooling resources, large print books for Grandma, recipe books and so much more.

Pricing for the books:

Adult Hardbacks $2.00

Juvenile Hardbacks $1.00

Oversized Paperback Books $1.00

Paperback Books $.50

Juvenile Paperbacks $.25

Records, Tapes & CDs $.50 - 1.00

If you want a better deal, wait for next weekend when they have the 1/2 price day on Friday and $5.00 a bag day on Saturday - but more on that later!

You can get the complete schedule of Booksales here.

Also - you cannot take strollers or carts into the center, so keep this in mind. I suggest taking a heavy duty canvass bag. I have a bag with wheels, that is not a "cart" so I use that when I go. Also I would suggest going Friday if you can. First thing Saturday it is quite a crazy zoo! It thins out a bit as you get toward lunch time. Several times I have dropped Hubby and kids off right up the street at the Children's Museum and went down to do my looking and then come back to join them when I was finished.

If you have been to the book sale and have any suggestions please post them below.
