  DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING CLASSES COMING SOON

                       WITH YOLANDA VENTURA

Do you have a collection of old or not so old photos, electronic or paper, that you would like to organize into a "story" or simply preserve in a more organized way?

The Storyteller's Book Store is always on the lookout for ways that you can read, hear stories or tell your own story. In March, we will partner with Yolanda Ventura of Heritage Makers to offer instruction as to how to organize your pictures into a format that can be part of your or your family's legacy.

Classes will begin on March 4th on Thursdays at 6:30pm and will run for four weeks. The cost is $60. We need five people to begin, but we expect space to fill up fast, so call now to reserve your spot.

All you need is a laptop computer with extention cord, 50 photos either printed or digital, and we provide the rest.

Want to know more about digital scrapbooking? Go to www.pictureswithpurpose.net to learn about this exciting way to preserve your memories.

 WINTER DOLDRUMS AND EMPTY PIGGYBANK DEAL !

Certainly not.. not everything is cold and wintery about January and February. While it might be crummy weather, and 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 and February 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.
