Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore hours sale this week

The Friends of Sherwood Library bookstore’s back-to-school sale is in progress this week every afternoon, 1-5 p.m. through August 26. The bookstore is also open for regular sale hours on Wednesday and Sunday, starting as always at 1 p.m. The library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.

During the Back to School sale the bookstore will feature several specials:

· Buy one regular price kids’/young adult book at 25 cents, get one free.

· All kids’/young adult special price items will be half off the sticker price.

· Discount for educators.

Also during the back to school sale we will spotlight popular “Books to Movies” (you’ve seen the movie, now read the book), books with hard-to-resist titles (for example, “Did Monkeys Invent the Monkey Wrench?”), and a small selection of holiday books.

This week, donations to the bookstore’s history section include a separate cart full of books on the Civil War. Our DVD and CD collections have been re-organized into genres, to make browsing a bit easier. New additions to our “Special Price” table include many more Civil War books and DVDs and books from the “Great Courses.”

With the end of summer in sight and fall travel on the horizon, don’t miss our selections of mass market paperbacks, romance, and mystery novels.

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.
