Regular Book Shop Hours: Mondays 11am-3pm, Wednesdays 12-2:30pm, Thursdays 2-5pm
It’s February. It’s still winter and there’s not a lot to do. Except, you can read, watch movies, and listen to music or audio books. And, you can purchase all these items REALLY REALLY CHEAPLY at the library. We’re continuing our four paperback FICTION books for $1 sale. DVDs, CDs and audio books are $1 each and, just in case you want to get a head start on next Christmas, we are still offering everything Christmas for 25c each. We still have some nice children's holiday books and plenty of craft and recipe books. We also have puzzles, for $1 each.
Since many of you say the Friends close the bookstore too early for those who work to get in to browse, we will be opening the store on the 2nd Saturday of each month. For February, we’ll be open on the 11th, from 10am to 2pm. It’s a great opportunity to get your Valentine a gift, or even a treat for yourself.
The bookstore is open Mondays from 11 am to 3 pm, Wednesday from noon to 2:30 pm and Thursdays from 2 pm to 5 pm.
Thank you for your continuing support. | February Exhibit |
