IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE WORLD BOOK NIGHT ORGANIZATION, please let us know or call 973-744-7177 by Friday, 3/9, 9am. You may have selected a title which was no longer available (i.e. Hunger Games), or your request was lost in cyberspace. We have a LIMITED opportunity to order books for you. Please let us know if you need our help. And then, come out for our incredible authors and events this week!
Enjoy! Margot, Carolyn, Marina, Nicole, Marisela and Liane |

Evening of Poetry with Celebrated Local Poets Madeline Tiger Carole Stone Thursday, March 15, 7pm Madeline Tiger explores the powerlessness and the strength of girlhood with scrupulous attention to detail in From The Viewing Stand. Stone's book, Traveling with the Dead, vigorously supports the thesis that (tragically premature) absence makes the heart obsess-without hope of enduring relief.
