Las Vegas Books in Las Vegas, Nevada

With it being so hot in Las Vegas during our visit there earlier this month, my husband and I didn't want to spend time outdoors... Nor did we want to spend a lot of time in the very busy and popular places on the Las Vegas strip either. Everyone wanted to stay cool by staying indoors to beat the heat.

So, we visited an independent used bookstore located in a strip mall near our hotel called, Las Vegas Books, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Las Vegas Books is a very cute bookstore with friendly staff members. They buy, sell, and trade books. It should be noted that they offer special book sales periodically, like selling a bag of books for five dollars. In fact, on both July 4th and August 1st, Las Vegas Books will be hosting one of their buy a bag of books for five dollars events. If you're visiting Las Vegas on one of these two dates, then pop by Las Vegas Books and report back on your sale purchases! It would be cool to learn which books one finds on sale. One can come away with a lot of books for five dollars.

Anyway, we enjoyed spending roughly 30 minutes of our time at Las Vegas Books on a Friday morning. I came away with a single, vintage, hardback novel published in 1942 titled, The Little Dog Barked by Anne Rowe. This novel is in great condition for its age and is also wrapped in a clear, mylar type of cover for protection. The Little Dog Barked by Anne Rowe is a mystery novel. I look forward to reading it.

New to Me Little Free Libraries in Las Vegas, Nevada

My husband and I spent nearly two weeks in Las Vegas, Nevada this month. We returned home on Friday, June 19th. My husband visited Las Vegas due to business travel and had asked me if I wanted to join him while he was in Las Vegas. 

It had been almost 24 years since my previous trip to Las Vegas, so I decided to join my husband in Las Vegas. During our time spent in Las Vegas, there was a major heatwave! I don't think the temperature fell below 80 degrees Fahrenheit during our entire visit to Las Vegas.... And the 80 degree temperatures were during the early morning hours. The highs ranged from 95 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Needless to say, it didn't make being outdoors comfortable due to the heat. We spend most of our time indoors with the air conditioner on.

We managed to visit two Little Free Libraries located near our hotel. We actually stayed at a hotel located off the Las Vegas strip during our visit. We found both Little Free Libraries on a Sunday morning between 7am and 7:30am to beat the high heat as the day went on. Both Little Free Libraries were located in cute, residential neighborhoods. I didn't find any books to exchange at these LFLs, which is fine by me. I didn't need to haul many books home with us on our return flight home. 

As a side note, Nevada is the 3rd state where I've found LFLs!! Hopefully, I will visit more US states and discover other LFLs during my travels to each state when I do.
