How serendipitous is this?  We'll be celebrating our 6th birthday and our new location on May 16th! Most importantly, we'll be celebrating YOU and all the ways you support your little, local independent bookstore.  Hope you'll join us for a day of celebration and give us the opportunity to show off the new nest and treat you to some goodies!

 
Afterwords Books is a family owned and operated bookstore, proud to call Edwardsville home.  We offer our customers both new and used books, a trade for credit program, free children's story times, book clubs for all ages, a monthly documentary club, educational toys, unique gifts crafted from local artisans, and impeccable customer service, all in a relaxing, inviting environment.

Join us for a day of family fun with Charming Events STL very own Spider-Man, Captain America, Snow White, Belle, and the gang from Frozen, sharing games, crafts, story times, sing-a-longs, and more! Special thanks to our friends at  Elite Event Services  who will be sharing complimentary popcorn, cotton candy, and lemonade to all our guests. 
Tickets must be purchased in advance and are only available online through Ticketleap.  All attendees must have a ticket; children two and under enjoy FREE admission!  Purchase your tickets HERE.
We'll be CLOSED April 26th-May 15th to move to our new nest !  Visit us on facebook for our MOVING SALE announcements!

It's official, this is your bookstore's new home! 
 
We're counting on you to help feather the new nest at 454 E Vandalia ST, in Edwardsville. 

We'll be closed April 26th-May 15th to move and get all settled but, until then, please do continue to visit us at our current location and purchase books to your heart's desire; moving thousands of books is no small feat.


Moving, and closing the shop to facilitate it, will no doubt prove costly. Though we're not comfortable soliciting donations, we are, instead, offering some fantastic rewards/incentives to those who make a contribution toward the bookstore's new home. Check out our fundraising campaign to see how you can help and what wonderful goodies we're offering in appreciation of your support. 

Thanks so much to all who have already contributed over $4,000 to the moving fund!  Every little bit counts and inches us closer to our fundraising goal during this exciting albeit financially stressful time. We're planning a grand re-opening celebration on May 16th and are looking forward to sharing the day with all of you.
