Help us have a terrific JULY! Book groups, writing club, storytimes and more are in full swing.
- The biggest book event in recent years (bigger than Harry Potter!) is the 7/14 release of Harper Lee's GO SET A WATCHMAN, which is set 20 years after To Kill A Mockingbird. Be sure to call the store or email to reserve your copy today.
- We LOVE events, so we have decided to offer customers a NEW event - ALGORITHM ALTERNATIVE DAY - being celebrated Wednesday, July 15th from 9am - 9pm. (see below) Probably can't say its bigger than Black Friday like that South American river claims, but it sure beats ANYTHING they do since we do it all with style, brainpower and FUN!
- Hope you are all reading our ONE BOOK, ONE SUMMER pick -Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library. Be sure to come on Wed. July 29th for fun, puzzles, raffle and a cool SKYPE visit from author Chris Grabenstein.
- Unfortunately, our Rick Yancey event scheduled for July 17th has been postponed due to illness. We wish Rick a speedy recovery and look forward to hosting him sometime in the future.
