The bookstore’s selection of 2019 and 2020 editions expands every week. For example, this week the collection includes Danielle Steele’s new “Moral Compass” and the non-fiction “Repeal the Second Amendment” by Allan Lichtman.
We have multiple copies of some books, which would make them suitable for book clubs, exercise groups, etc. These include “Angel Walk: Nurses at War in Iraq & Afghanistan”; the DC Junior League Cookbook; and the “US Navy Seal Guide to Fitness.”

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.
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. Help us spread the word; please forward this message to your community and neighborhood email groups.
