Your bookstore's new home!
 
Thanks so much to everyone who joined us on May 16th for Customer Appreciation Day, celebrating our 6th birthday and our new location! 

Moving, and closing the shop to facilitate it, proved 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 $5,700 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 robbing Peter to pay Paul in order to catch up; if we successfully raise another $4,300 we'll be back on track.  You can join your friends and neighbors in helping to feather the new nest by making a contribution or hightailing it into the bookstore to buy a stack of books .  Vamoose!



 
Wonderful Winning Wednesdays!
