Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore hours this week

The Friends of Sherwood Library bookstore is open this week on Wednesday from 1 – 4 PM and Sunday, 1 – 3 PM. The library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.

This week our spotlight is on recent donations to our “Special Price” collection. For example: a 2-volume slip case set of "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government” by Jefferson Davis, 1958 printing; 2-volume set of the works of Stephen Vincent Benet; 2-volume set “The Life of Johnny Reb: and The Life of Billy Yank”; and a 3 volume slip case set, “The Duck Commander Collection.”

We’ve also refreshed our textbook and teacher resource shelves with new additions.

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, all have new arrivals. And don’t forget to look at our travel section for guides and maps if you are planning summer trips..

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

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.
