Friends Book Shop Every First Monday 2 DOT SALE
Every first Monday of the month books with 2 colored dots are sold at half price. Find any book with 2 colored dots on the spine and only pay half the marked price.
Friends Book Shop Extended hours
Open longer hours! Every first Thursday of the month in conjunction with the First Thursday Concerts, the Friends Book Shop will be open until 9 pm.
Do to the great donations we have received, the Book Shop is doing very well. We couldn't do it without our hard working volunteers who are in the Book Shop everyday and the volunteers upstairs sorting and pricing the books.
The Book Shop has a great "new" look. If you have not visited for awhile, come and see our book shelves instead of carts sitting around. Click on the "page corners" of the book below to see photographs.
