Thanks to the folks who came to our 26th Anniversary Open House and Book Sale! We sold 125 books. There were some wonderful conversations, and many brownies were consumed. We collected two good-sized bags of food and $81 cash for the West Side Food Bank. Winners of the Bookish Gift Bag were Gerry and Linda Caron! Hope to see you next year!

Last day to get 25% off books! If your New Brunswick Day plans are rained out, what better way to celebrate than by buying a local book? Lots of brownies left! Don't forget your Food Bank donation! https://www.facebook.com/share/1D9tvWdsDP/

Not as many customers yesterday at our Open House and Book Sale, but five of them came back after being here on Friday, and bought more books! Thanks to Susan and Marie for their generous contributions to the West Side Food Bank! Entries to win our Bookish Gift Bag are piling up! Several New Brunswick cookbooks in the sale! https://www.facebook.com/share/1KEVxFN1sX/

Thanks to the 28 adults (and three kids), who showed up for the first day of our Open House and Book Sale! Roy (and I) were tired! We got a few donations for the West Side Food Bank, but could use more! I brought up three more boxes of books last night to replace the 50 books we sold yesterday. Still lots of brownies left! https://www.facebook.com/share/1EYwD5mPmk/

We're all set up and ready to open at 9 a.m.! Reminder to please bring a non-perishable food item for the West Side Food Bank if you can! See you soon!
