It is time once again to thin out my Bulging Bargain Bookshelves!  Each item in the bargain section will be a quarter (25¢). Sets of books are 25¢ per item. This includes about 5,000 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 .

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.🙂

This sale will be Tuesday September 13 and Wednesday September 14 from noon to 6pm.

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).

You are welcome to park on our lawn, but please don’t leave the engine running–it kills the grass. If you need to run some A/C for the rugrats, please grab a piece of pavement.

I will be accepting consignments. (I take them year-round, no exceptions.)

If you’ve got them, bring your cloth supermarket bags–they are ideal for hauling away all your goodies.

Thanks!

Holiday Hours:

We will be open for all our regular times this week: Friday/Saturday 11-2 and Tuesday/Wednesday 12-6.

Curriculum Updates:

Rod & Staff–We have had a large influx of R&S over the past 2-3 weeks. I think we have just about every student text and teacher’s book in the catalog, including the upper grades.

Singapore Math–A large quantity of this has come in too. Mostly textbooks and instructor’s guides, but some workbooks, too.

Bargain Section–Hard to believe, but we are overflowing in this area already. It is probably about 80% new stuff since the sale. So even if you came then–it’ll be all new if you come check it out again! The next quarter sale will be in September. I think we’ll have to start hanging the books from the rafters by then, but it’s all good. There is no such thing as too many books.🙂

As I’ve said before, feel free to send me your book lists if you are trying to gather readers especially for Sonlight, Notgrass, My Father’s World, or Heart of Dakota. I will hold the lists through the summer and notify you as soon as the books come in. I’ve also started a “wish list” for individual items. (Before, I would have told you to call back and check every two weeks). So just drop me an email with what you are looking for and I will keep an eye out for the summer. If I call you with it but you already got it some other way in the meantime that’s totally fine.

Happy Independence Day!

Readers: I am in the process of separating out readers that belong with different curriculums. I currently have sections for Sonlight, Notgrass, Heart of Dakota, My Father’s World, and Beautiful Feet. There is a lot of overlap between the different curriculums so please ask for help when you are in the store searching for these. Other sections that contain books from these curriculums are Bethlehem Books, BJU Journey Forth, Usborne, Beverly Cleary, and Marguerite Henry (Horses). We have a pretty good idea in which section each title is shelved so please, please don’t be afraid to ask.

Feel free to email me a list of the titles you are looking for and I can tell you which ones we have and put them aside if you want them. I’ll hold them for you for a week. All of my used readers are at LEAST 50% off, so you can save money doing this!

• Tuesday 12-6
• Wednesday 12-6
• Friday 11-2

SALE   We will be having a bargain section sale (everything a quarter) the week of June 14. I’ll send out another reminder for that the week before with all the deets.

INSTRUMENTS   In the store right now we have a keyboard ($50), a trumpet ($75), a child-sized guitar ($20), and a handful of recorders ($5). And lots and lots of music lesson books–most at $1.

A note about parking. You are welcome to park on our grass if the regular parking area is full. But please don’t leave your engine running. It leaves behind a large, brown dead spot in the grass. And we want to keep my husband happy with nice green grass.😀

Thanks!

Catalog:

The main distributor that I purchase new items from has come out with an online catalog. I stock many of these items, but can order any of them. Ignore the prices listed though–I discount almost everything I get from them.    Ignore this–they just went out of business on me.😦

homeschoolcatalog.org

(I also order from some other companies that you won’t see their items listed in that catalog: Notgrass, All About Learning Press, and Berean Builders.)

June:

I will be adding additional store hours for the summer starting the first of June. It will probably be Fridays and Saturdays. I’ll announce the hours here and put it on my store answering machine when it gets a little closer.

I also plan to have a Bargain Section Quarter Sale in June. I’ll post that when the time gets closer, too.

Consignments:

If you are planning on bringing me consignments, this is the absolute best time of year to do so. I still receive the bulk of my consignments in August after most people are done shopping for the new school year. You can bring them in any day I’m open without an appointment, or make an appointment for a closed day.

Thanks!
