We are excited to be making some BIG changes that will ease the squeeze in the store. WE ARE OPEN AS USUAL throughout.

We added a small building about 10 feet behind the store and have installed 22 new bookcases in there. This is the new home for Alpha Omega, CLE, ACE, Rod & Staff, Art, Music, Games, and the Bargain Section. I’m calling it the Book Barn. You will access the new building through the back door of the store where the Bargain Section used to be:

This part of the renovation is mostly done–still waiting for the carpet, and the shelves are not well-labeled yet. Also, we will put down a flagstone path in the spring (sorry–gotta slog across the wet grass till then).

The choas part is inside the main store. I now have the equivalent of about 20 empty bookcases that over the next few weeks I will be expanding some of the over-stuffed sections in to.

About 1/3 of all the books will eventually end up somewhere they didn’t use to be, so PLEASE please ask when you are looking and can’t find something. We can search for it together. 🙂

So please pardon our mess and thanks for your patience as we get through this. It should be a whole lot easier to shop when all is said and done.

Thanks!

We are having a quarter sale a little earlier in the year in order to enlist your help. Over the next few weeks we will be working on a renovation in the shop that requires me to move the entire bargain section, all 7,000 books, among other things. So I thought, if I could have fewer books to haul around, that would be great! So do your part–buy lots of cheap good books, and save me some moving :-).

The sale will be Tuesday, Jan 15 and Wednesday, Jan 16 from 12-6.

Here is the usual explanatory blurb:

Each item in the bargain section (somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 books) will be a quarter (25¢). Sets of books are 25¢ per item. This includes books from my bargain area from the topics of math, science, history/geography, language arts, Bible, homeschool helps, old edition BJU and Abeka, and lots and lots of readers/novels . And TONS of flashcards.

This is a great opportunity to stock up on educational resources. For a quarter, it’s easy, for example, to buy a science book and cut it up to use the pictures for a lap book–no guilt involved. 🙂

Young children are always welcome in the store, but if you have an option to not bring them this week–it would probably be safer for them 😉  (I’ll be temporarily removing the play area this week since it’s in the bargain section and there is just no room if we add in people, too).

I will be accepting consignments. (I take them year-round, no exceptions.) As a head’s up, I am getting pickier due to space constraints throughout the store. I can sort your stuff quickly when you bring it in to let you know which I’ll take.

If you’ve got them, bring your cloth supermarket bags–they are ideal for hauling away all your goodies. And I take donations of plastic grocery bags if you’d like to recycle them with me.

For payment, I accept cash, check and Paypal.

Thanks!
