3 Book Store Shopping Days Left Before Christmas

The Book Store Next Door, Wilmington's home for used books, is open every Wednesday, 10am to 4pm, and Saturday, 10am to 4pm.  Conveniently located next to the Wilmington Memorial Library (183 Middlesex Avenue), the store always has what you're looking for.  

The Book Store Next Door has just three more openings before Christmas – Wednesday, December 15, Saturday, December 18 and Wednesday, December 22.  The store's gently used books make great gifts for family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers!  The Book Store Next Door also has gift certificates available for purchase in any amount.  In addition, the store is selling wonderful jars of cookie mix and hot cocoa mix as part of a Friends of the Library fundraiser.  Due to the holiday season, the store will be closed on Saturday, December 25, Wednesday, December 29, and Saturday, January 1.
