Still looking for that perfect last-minute holiday gift? We have $5 gift certificates for bookstore purchases, no expiration date, or come in and pick up a like-new holiday book or 2018 best seller. A favorite volume from our “vintage books” section could be just what you need for the person who doesn’t need anything. And in the lobby is a table of brand-new books for children and teens.

Our sports section has been updated with an infusion of books about golf, and history has been newly reorganized for easier browsing. On the special price table this week is a boxed set (book and DVD) of Jacqueline Kennedy’s 1964 interviews with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.; and an anniversary edition from 1960 celebrating U.S. Naval Aviation.

Did you know our inventory is donated by members of the community? Our bookstore and support of the library depend on your generosity. 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.
