Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore weekly specials
This week features holiday craft and cookbooks.
The Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore will be open as usual on Wednesday, October 23, from 1-4 PM and Sunday, October 27, from 1-3 PM. Sherwood Regional Library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.
This week on the special price table we have a rare signed copy of “The Power Makers – Steam, Electricity, and the Men Who Invented America”; a new “Introduction to Programming Using Visual Basic – with CD”; the 2020 “Old Farmers’ Almanac”; and an unusual (wooden) boxed set of 6 Griffin & Sabine volumes. Also, Civil War buffs take note: this week we have the like-new 14-volume “Civil War Narrative” by Shelby Foote.
Planning ahead for the holidays? In the second floor lobby we have a table full of holiday-related books for all ages, DVDs, CDs, and vinyl. The cookbook cart has one shelf dedicated to holiday crafts and baking, and the coffee table area offers a small selection of Halloween books.

Our bookstore and support of the library depend on donations by members of the community. The bookstore always appreciates donations in all categories, both fiction and nonfiction, but
PLEASE, in clean, resalable condition, and again, no magazines or encyclopedias. Receipts are available for tax purposes.
For large-volume donations (for example, multiple boxes or hundreds of items) please call the bookstore in advance to facilitate staff coordination: 703-718-8206.
Items from the ongoing book sale in the first floor hallway and in the second floor open lobby are available for purchase whenever the library is open.
