Bridget Starr Taylor, chair and chief book wrangler for the annual Norfolk Library book sale, stood for a quiet moment on Sunday, Aug. 25. Book dealers, connoisseurs, readers and bargain hunters lined up around the corner before the sale opened on Saturday and swarmed the tent when Taylor cut the tape. Said one observer, “That part is my favorite, but you definitely don’t want to be caught in the way of the stampede.” Expenses still have to be tallied, but this year’s gross sales set a new record, according to Paul Madore, treasurer of the Norfolk Library Associates. Now marking their 50th anniversary, the associates raise funds to support the library; Tom Hlas is president.
