Hello from all of us here at the little bookstore that’s bigger on the inside! Hard to believe that May is almost over and that summer is poking its head around the corner!
Congratulations to all those who’ve graduated from our local colleges and universities this past weekend.
As a “soft start” to summer here at ABSW, we’ll be staying open a little longer on Sundays.
Memorial Day Weekend Hours:
FRIDAY, MAY 26TH – 10AM-9PM
SATURDAY, MAY 27TH – 10AM-9PM
SUNDAY, MAY 28TH – 10AM-5:30PM
MONDAY [MEMORIAL DAY], MAY 29TH – 10AM-8PM
We’ve changed up our sidewalk sales offerings in honor of the warmer weather. You’ll find tables full of National Book Awards winners and beach reads from popular authors, bins featuring American Girl books and Harlequin Romances, and many more low-cost bargains for your outdoor reading adventures!
Let’s not forget the school summer reading titles, available in bulk for educators and priced just right for parents and caretakers. We’ve got an always-being-updated list of our SRL stock here on our Google Docs page.
And when you enter the bookstore itself, treat yourself and take a peek at our ever-changing displays of featured books and publisher specials. They cover many genres and range for all tastes and ages. All are discounted between 25% to 42% off retail price.
Our Youtube channel has more than ONE HUNDRED filmed interviews and Q&As with various creators… writers, illustrators, editors and more!
