WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Over 100,000 books fill the Extraco Events Center this weekend as the Waco Friends of the Library kicks off its 63rd annual book sale - a community tradition taking on new urgency amid local library budget cuts and reduced hours."Trying to help where we can to subsidize where those cuts are happening," said Amy Swanson, president of Waco Friends of the Library.

Swanson said every book at the event is donated, sorted into categories, and placed on pallets for transport - adding up to 100,000 items at this year's sale.

"We had 74 pallets, which we are really excited about," Swanson said.
