What's not to love about March? The days are longer, Spring is upon us and it's Women's History Month! Yes it's been a bit more blustery than us island folks enjoy... but all of this rain has the wildflowers in full bloom and they are filling me with so much joy on my daily walks.
If you're looking for ways to spend your sunny evenings, relaxing on the porch with a good book sounds right up your alley! We have lots of new non-fiction on the shelves, and more of all genres on the way. Don't forget - if we don't have it in stock, we can always order it for you!

I've been offering private tours and workshops all Winter, and, as it warms up, I'm pleased to introduce TWO exciting new offerings as we head into Spring.
Looking forward to seeing you in the East End!

Written by VP Kamala Harris's nice Meena Harris, this NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER picture book will empower and inspire anyone who's ever been underestimated or overshadowed.
When a young girl sees a strong woman on TV labeled as "too assertive" and "too ambitious," it sends her on a journey of discovery through past, present, and future about the challenges faced by women and girls and the ways in which they can reframe, redefine, and reclaim words meant to knock them down.
