titlewave_bookstoreAs the Multnomah County Library system continues it’s switch over to an RFID tracking system, the Title Wave Used Bookstore continues to receive truckloads of books the library has decided to move out of its system.  To help clear out some of this new inventory Title Wave has been running a different sale each day in January.

For instance today (1-7) is “50% off all items in the Dewey categories 000-299,” which consist of Computer Science, information, general works, philosophy, psychology, religion and spirituality.  Tomorrow’s (1-8) sale is “buy any two used items, get one of equal or lesser value for free.”  Each day brings something new, except for Sunday’s when the bookstore is closed and January 18th when they are closed in remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday.

I was just in the store yesterday and it is packed to the hilt, with several employees in the back going through the crates of books that continue to come in.  So if you are in the market for great books at a cheap price, and really who isn’t, than now would be a good time to head on over to Title Wave.
