They are predicting storms all day Friday, so we will not be holding our sidewalk sale. Stay in with a good book, and come see us on Monday, Aug 3rd from 11-4 for more great discounted books and toys. Thanks to all who have visited already! It is lovely to see your masked faces.

We asked librarians and teachers—all Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)—to share books that they’ve found can help kids understand race and racism. nytimes.com/wirecutter/revie…

Katherine Applegste has been a favorite of ours since the Animorph series came on the scene! Now she’s supporting educators and indie bookstores with weekly gift card giveaways. We are delighted she asked us to be part of this campaign.
US educators, I'm giving away 5 $100 gift cards to some of my favorite indie bookstores. This week: @bookpassage, @bankstreetbooks, & @BookPeople. 📚
For a chance to win one, follow me & RT this tweet. I'll choose and contact random winners—US educators only—on 6/12 at 2 PM PT.
