McKinley hosts nation’s
largest used book sale
The largest used book sale in the United States began yesterday and will run through Saturday at McKinley High School cafeteria.
There will be more than 150,000 assorted books, paperbacks, magazines, CDs, DVDs, videos, encyclopedias and special collector items to choose from at the 57th annual book sale.
