Book Lovers' Book Sale kicks off at the Southern Hills Mall
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The annual Book Lovers' Book Sale kicked off Thursday at the Southern Hills Mall in Sioux City.
The sale is taking place in the old Chuck E. Cheese location at the mall. It's being put on by the Friends of the Sioux City Public Library.
Thousands of books come from the library which were taken out of circulation or were too numerous. The rest of the books are donations from the community. Along with books, there are also DVDs, vinyl albums and audio books for sale.
Prices range from $1 to $4 for books and $2 for DVDs and audio recordings.

'We get people from all over that travel to come,' said Debbie LaCroix with the Friends of the Sioux City Public Library. 'We get book collectors, we get moms, we get teachers, we get grandmas, we get those that just love books. People looking to escape, people looking to learn. You're going to find just lots of reasons to be here.'
There is also a silent auction for a 95-book collection Louis L'Amour's works. You can bid on the books or buy the collection outright for $900.
The book sale runs until May 3.
