Happy New Year!

A few reminders and housekeeping notes as we enter the new year.

Happy New Year!

First and foremost, thank you for making our first full year in business such a success! We couldn't do what we do without your support, and we wish you a happy and healthy 2023!

We also wanted to share a few reminders and housekeeping notes with you as we enter the new year:

HOURS & SCHEDULE
Our hours will stay the same in 2023. We're open Tuesday-Thursday 11 am-6 pm; Fridays 11 am-7 pm; and Saturdays 10 am-6 pm. That being said, we'll be closed for two Saturdays in January (January 14 & 28), due to events that we'll be attending out of town.

SPECIAL ORDERS
We're always happy to order books for you if we don't have what you're looking for in the store. However, this year we may be placing orders less frequently, due to changes with our distributor's policies and procedures. We appreciate your patience if it takes a little longer for your orders to arrive, but if you need them sooner, we can always rush them for a small fee. Pre-orders and special orders that exceed $30 or include multiple items must be paid for in advance.

HOLDS
If you see something you like on our Facebook or Instagram pages, we're happy to hold it for you for up to one week without payment. If it hasn't been picked up within that time, we'll have to put it back on the shelf to give other customers the opportunity to purchase it, and to make room for more holds behind the counter. (This does not apply to pre-paid orders.)

DONATIONS
We are now accepting book donations again at the store. Please review our donation policy before bringing in books.

Thank you, and we hope you have an excellent 2023!
