If you havent made it out to Story Time, yet, you’re really missing out on a lot of fun!
Miss Myra reads a few stories to start us out, and then everybody gets a snack (my favorite part).
We’ve had Sidewalk Chalk days, and I think she’s got a few other things up her sleeve as well.
Come on out and join us on Tuesday mornings at 10:30, and be ready to have some fun!
Our Summer Reading Program is officially under way!
Not a contest, not a challenge, just a program designed to foster a love of daily reading, with the option of recruiting sponsors to earn money for new books!
Read for at least 20 minutes a day, five days a week for six weeks, then bring in your completed progress sheet anytime before the beginning of school- that’s nine weeks from today, folks- and collect some goodies!
Open to everybody aged 1 day to 17 years, 364 days…
Program paperwork available at the store, or drop me a message or email, and I’ll get one out to you.
Ready…
Set…
READ!
We got a couple interesting new photography books in today.
One is from internationally renowned photographer Sally Mann, whose startlingly authentic imagery of her children in Immediate Family introduced her to fame and controversy.
The other is… just silly, but fun.
On Saturday, June 18th, we will be having a book signing event.
At 2pm, anthropologist and College of William and Mary professor emerita Barbara J. King will be conducting a brief talk on emotions in animals, after which she will be signing copies of her books How Animals Grieve and Animals’ Best Friends until 4pm.
From 2 until 6 we will also have local author Nuala Galbari and her husband Dr. David Justis, who will be signing copies of their book The Woods of Wicomico, as well as displaying images and artifacts that inspired their writing.
Copies of all three books will be available for purchase during the signing, while supplies last. Come early to make sure that you get yours!
We have a new selection of cards and bookmards from Donna Redd, just in time for Father’s Day!
The first meeting of our new Book Club will be on Friday, June 3rd, at 6:30 PM.
It will be at this meeting that we establish a regular schedule for subsequent meetings and pick our first book to be read by the group.
Come on out and join us, and hey, bring a friend!
We’ve changed our store hours to be closed on Sundays.
In an emergency, please call the store phone, and if we’re able, we’ll do the best that we can to assist.
Additionally, we will be opening for limited hours on select Sundays, either for holidays or to serve those customers who don’t have any other time to shop with us. We’ll keep those dates published on this page and on our Facebook page, so keep an eye out for those.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 21st, we will be running a 20% off sale on all used books.
