It'll be in the Habitat ReStore parking lot, 1133 N. Wendover Road 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Friday and Saturday (April 13 and 14.)

Julia's will be selling more than 10,000 used books in all genres. And you can buy them by the bagful -- $25 for as many as you can stuff into a complimentary Julia's shopping bag.
