Recent donations of DVDs, audio books on CD, and history/biography books are all on separate carts or shelves for ease in browsing. Hardcover fiction shelves and carts, and paperback fiction, have all been refreshed with new arrivals. And don’t forget to look at our travel section for guides and maps if you are planning summer get-aways.

To help with planning for your bookstore visits, please note that the bookstore itself will be closed next month from July 1 – July 7. No Sunday, Wednesday, or Saturday sale that week, although books on the open stacks will as always be available for purchase. Also, we will not accept donations during that week.
