WINTER DOLDRUMS AND EMPTY PIGGYBANK DEAL !

Certainly not.. not everything is cold and wintery about January through March. While it might be crummy weather, what better time than to curl up with a good book.

The bookstore wants to make it easy for you to do this! So for the months of January through March we are offering the following deal.  OUR USED BOOKS ARE FREE !!! THAT'S RIGHT "FREE."

Here's the catch. They will have a recommeded donation, from $3 to $5, but you pay what you think it's worth. But it's really free, if you think that's what  it's worth. Huh? What kind of wierd logic is that?

So here's how this will really work. We have two long shelves of used ("free") books. Find something you want to read, an old Hermann Hesse, or Kerouac...we have Charles Darwin and Georgette Heyer... and tell us what you want to pay for it. Maybe you have a book to trade for it, maybe you have a good joke or tale you want to tell to pay for it. In January and February you can do that.  

Just come see us. We have heat. Sometimes we'll have cider and cookies on the weekends. Find something you want to read.

   
The Educator's Discount Card is Now Available !! 

Call us at 919-554-9146 to inquire about the Educator's Discount Card, offering teachers and administrators a 20% discount card. This is our way to acknowledge the value of those who teach our young people.

We know that teachers sometimes spend money from their own  pockets for books to benefit their students.

The card can be used for all books in the store or any books we can order for you. (Rare exceptions may apply). If you are a teacher or school administrator and we have not visited your school, call us at 919-554-9146 and we will put you and all those who work in your school on our Educator's Discount List.
