Photographer Nick Adams hit the annual Friends of the Redwood Libraries’ Book Sale yesterday, during its sneak-peek, members-only pre-sale. Today — from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. — the doors open wide to the general public.

The sale features thousands of books, as as well as CDs, videotapes and local gift items. All the sales support the library. It takes place at the Eureka Main Branch of the Humboldt County Library system — 1313 Third Street.

Visit the Friends’ web page for more info.

Here are Nick’s photos.

People wait for the Humboldt County Library to open on Friday.
