Children's and teen books and more.

The Sherwood Regional Library bookstore will be open this Wednesday from 1 – 4 PM, and Sunday, January 19, from 1-3 PM. Please note that our newly expanded winter hours include every Saturday. Sherwood Regional Library is located at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria, 22306.

As always our special price table contains quality books at very reasonable prices. This week we are offering “Great Fool: Poems, Letters, and Other Writings” by Zen master Ryokan; the graphic novel “DKIII The Master Race” book 2, by Frank Miller et al; “Mark My Words, Instruction and Practice in Proofreading” by Peggy Smith; and the original “Poi Cats on O’ahu” by Genevieve Suzuki.

In the second floor open lobby we are offering a new selection of paperback romance novels at the bargain price of 10 cents each. Look for these on the table near the elevator. Now is the time to stock up for winter reading! Also in the second floor lobby is a cart full of children’s picture books at very special prices; this means you no longer will need to wait for bookstore open hours in order to browse quality children’s books.

Also in the second floor lobby you will find our always-renewed supply of $1 “coffee table” books, Western novels, paperback mysteries, science fiction novels, and a shelf of “modern classics and award winners,” as well as regular classics, travel books and guides, and used textbooks.

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. PLEASE ensure that they are in clean, resalable condition. We cannot accept magazines or encyclopedias. Receipts are available for tax purposes.
