Yes, I was busy back on the weekend of the 2018 Annual Used Book Sale Down Under at my workplace.

The underground parking garage at the Liverpool Public Library was a hopping place on a Friday night, as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

I had my official work Canon around my neck much of the time to take photos and video for our social media and a recap I put together afterward for the revamped LPL.org. Other times I sat at cash registers, or walked around trying to help patrons any way I could.

Waiting for the bargain.

But before the crowd came in on the final day, I couldn’t resist grabbing my iPad for an attempt at an artsy shot.

Rays of optimism, indeed.
