This week at Friends of Sherwood Library Bookstore

The Friends of Sherwood Library bookstore will be open as usual on Wednesday from 1-4 PM, Saturday from 1 – 4 PM, and Sunday from 1-3 PM. The bookstore’s newly expanded winter hours will include every Saturday from 1 – 4 PM. 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 feature Maurice Sendak’s “Nutshell Library”; Webster’s “Comprehensive” 2-volume dictionary; The Greek New Testament with dictionary; and John McPhee’s Pulitzer Prize winning “Annals of the Former World.” Thanks to a special donation, for a limited time we are offering the 26 volume, 2007 edition in like-new condition of Compton’s Encyclopedia, which would be an outstanding addition to a classroom or homeschool library.

The second floor lobby continues to be open for purchases whenever the library is open. This week is your last chance to purchase paperback Harlequin romance novels for 10 cents each. Also for one week only, we have 11 VHS tapes of original Star Trek TV episodes. The holiday book collection has expanded to the coffee table book area, while the quarter corner is continually updated with children’s and young adult books for 25 cents. Every child receives one of these books free during every library visit.

Plan ahead for library closures next week. On Tuesday, December 24, the library will close at 1 PM, and will be closed all day on December 25.

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.
