I dropped by Borders today and discovered a clearance section with $1 classics. The cashier was very amused as I made trips back and forth with armfuls of books to price check. Every time he scanned a book and it showed up as $1, I’d jump up and down and say “Really? Are you serious?” until finally he just looked at me and said, “Yes, ma’am they are all $1.”
I left Borders with three giant bags of cookbooks and multiple copies of classics that included Robinson Crusoe, The Scarlet Letter, and Villette.
I am trying to amass the following books for a much-needed library at the Kigali Learning Center.
- picture dictionaries + CD
- dialogue books + CD
- simple story books + CD
- self teaching English videos
- writing letters books
- resume/ CV books
- simple history books
- simple theater books
- comprehensive books +CD
- reference books
If you have any books that you want to donate, please let me know.
You can post to this blog or email me at lydia-hsu@northwestern.edu.
I will be on campus until July 18. Thanks!
