“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Our tradition to honor of the founding of our country is to display the flag that graced Karen's father's casket (thankfully, he survived combat at the Battle of the Bulge in WWII and lived to a grand old age). In this tumultuous time it's that important to join together to celebrate on the 4th. And, we're doing our best to honor the ideals that make our country great, among them the founder's robust--and civil--debate that eventually resulted in the Constitution. Stop by--our bookstore's rule is "Anyone can join any conversation" and, we do have interesting discussions! Also consider our monthly "Living Room Conversations" when our diverse group discusses a current topic in an informative, and civil, way.
Hot enough out there for you? Check out summer reads of great summer reads for beach vacations (used books are the best antidotes to worrying about spilling drinks on pristine new ones...).
Here's the latest on our wonderful booksellers--Birthdays: Keela notches another year on her belt on July 19th, Karen celebrates on July 31st, and Brenda Fayard blows out her candles on July 26th. Come and say Happy Birthday!
