they must be joking
i sent an email to booklender asking if they had a closing timeline yet & what were they going to do with all of the books.
the person who replied said they didn't know when the last day is, and the books were going to be auctioned off. also, if i wanted the books i had on my list of stuff to be shipped they could quote me a price. i will not take them up on that.
i imagine that they will be selling them in lots, mysteries all by on author, star trek novels, and such. but if you ever see a paperback with an oval sticker on the front with booksfree/booklender, a barcode sticker on the spine & inside cover (possibly blacked out) at a library book sale, a thrift store, or little free library you know what it's about.
i got my final shipment of books yesterday, so i will be working on those. i also joined the library system of a big city in the eastern part of the state (free to residents of the state) for ebooks & they have at least 2 that booklender didn't have.
it's kind of odd joining a "foreign" library before my local one, but i have to go in person to my local one & won't get a chance to do that for a few weeks.
