April 2021
Industry and Sloth

An indolent young man being asked why he lay in bed so long, jocosely and carelessly answered, “Every morning of my life I am hearing causes. I have two fine damsels, their names are Industry and Sloth, at my bedside, as soon as ever I awake, pressing their different suits. One entreats me to get up, the other persuades me to lie still; and then they alternately give me various reasons why I should rise, and why I should not. This detains me so long, as it is the duty of an impartial judge to hear all that can be said on both sides, that before the pleadings are over it is time to go to dinner.” Many men waste the prime of their days in deliberating what they shall do, and bring them to a period without coming to any determination.

Decisions not made lead nowhere
April is Autism Awareness Month. Autism and Asperger's continue to grow in prevalence, now estimated to significantly affect more than two percent of all children born today. Aesop's is a proud supporter of Autism Awareness and we are happy to stock a healthy selection of books that encourage and assist parents, educators and individuals to advance their understanding and appreciation.



April is also National Poetry Month. We have a growing selection of poetry books. We welcome your input and recommendations as we grow this section for the shop.

Independent Bookstore Day is Saturday, April 24. We hope you will join us as we celebrate everything that makes being local and independent so important to our community!
