Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore also open Saturday

This week the Friends of Sherwood Library bookstore is open Wednesday from 1 – 4 PM, Saturday Dec. 2 from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 1-3 PM. The library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.

Recently we received a huge eclectic donation of books about religion, philosophy, and spiritual life. For your convenience, these new arrivals have all been placed on a separate cart in the sales room.

Starting on Saturday and continuing for entire month of December, we will have all holiday books displayed and available for purchase. Especially noteworthy are the many children’s books. Many of the holiday items are gift-quality.

Speaking of gifts, here’s a great idea for stocking stuffers: we now have $5 GIFT CERTIFICATES on sale in the bookstore sales room. These are redeemable for purchases at the bookstore with no expiration date!

New for December, the bookstore will feature our small but growing collection from the African American shelf. Look for this in the sales room on the bookcase near the sales table. Another bookcase, this one in the second floor lobby, spotlights a small but exciting selection of hobby books, including how-to make your own wine and beer.

The bookstore always appreciates donations in all categories, both fiction and nonfiction, in resalable condition. Please, no magazines or encyclopedias. Receipts are available for tax purposes.
