Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore hours this week

Children's holiday books now available, many are gift-quality

The bookstore will be open Wednesday, 1-4 PM and Sunday, 1-3 PM. Items from the ongoing booksale on the first floor hallway and the second floor open lobby are available for purchase whenever the library is open. On Sundays most items in the Special Price room are half price. See details below. The library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.

Are you clearing out unwanted books and electronic media to get ready for the holidays? 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.

New additions this week to the Special Price table include “Collected Stories of William Trevor,” “Memoirs of a Russian Lady,” written and beautifully illustrated by Mariamna Davydoff, and the once-banned novel “Strange Fruit” by Lillian Smith.
