MISSOULA — It's time to book it over to Fort Missoula for the annual book sale that is back once again at Heritage Hall.
Historical Museum for Fort Missoula communications and development director Carrie Nowlen said there may be more than 60,000 books that are up for sale.
The annual book sale has been going on since the early 2000s to raise money for the museum.
“Museums in general are an important space," Nowlen said. "They are a place besides school or home or work to come together as a community."

The book collecting starts in February with the book sale reliing on donations from the Missoula community. But the museum needed a hand sorting through the tens of thousands of books.
“My favorite part is really getting to know the volunteers and spending the time with them throughout the year,” Nowlen said. "They are incredibly special people who dedicate their most precious commodity, which is their time.”
Volunteer Barbara Dorn returned for a second year for the books, but also for the people.
“I just love reading myself and I love seeing the books that people read and just see the different genres... and I love the smell of books," Dorn said.
The sale will include a $10 fee for all the books that can be fit into a bag on Sunday. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Sunday's hours are 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
