Wired's GeekDad blog lauded "the mother of all book sales in the Northeast," the annual Five Colleges Book Sale at Lebanon High School in New Hampshire. Run by more than 300 volunteers and featuring up to 40,000 books, the sale generates proceeds that "go to scholarships for students in New Hampshire and Vermont who plan on attending one of five colleges: Mt. Holyoke, Simmons, Smith, Vassar, or Wellesley." This year's sale is scheduled for April 21 and 22. "Every year for the past several years we have made the two and a half hour trip, on Sunday for the half price sale, and come back loaded down with treasures."
