4th Annual Support Your Local Library In Store Book Fair at The Book Nook
LUDLOW, VERMONT. The Book Nook will be hosting its fourth annual in store book fair at its store on Main Street in Ludlow. Last year the local indie bookstore provided nearly a $1000 to support the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, Ludlow's Fletcher Memorial Library and the Mt Holly Town Library. We hope to raise $1000 or more again this year. We encourage everybody who appreciates these communal public spaces and the services provide by our local libraries to stop by The Book Nook June 12 through June 21 and buy books to help support our great local libraries. Scott Stearns, bookseller at The Book Nook, said "I can't imagine where I would be today without the access to libraries I had when I was growing up as a kid, so I want to make sure we do what we can to keep our local libraries vibrant."
Our community libraries obviously provide as big a selection of books as they can, but they also make computers available for writing up a resume or playing games, Internet access for your laptop, newspapers and magazines, movies, audiobooks, ebooks, summer reading programs, and a whole host of events. These services offer useful information, increase our understanding of the world, and sometimes are just plain fun. The Book Nook wants to make sure that our local librarians can provide as many services as possible by giving them a little bit of extra support.
The traditional "book fair" normally takes place in a school library and are sponsored by publishers to offer a variety of books to help raise money for the library and encourage literacy by reaching out to young readers. The book fair that will take place in The Book Nook store will offer the widest variety of books for people to buy in support of one of our local libraries. For every book a customer purchases during the time period, The Book Nook will donate 20% of the purchase price to library of their choice. We also provide an opportunity for individuals to buy from us a book (or books) appearing on the Libraries Wish List which is then donated to the library. For every book purchased off the library Wish Lists, The Book Nook will deliver the book to the library as well as donate 20% of purchase price. Wish List books for each library and other information will be available in the store, on The Book Nook website - thebooknookvt.com - or folks can contact the store by phone - 228-3238.
Our store hours during the 4th Annual Support Your Local Library Book Fair at The Book Nook are 10am - 5pm Wednesday through Monday (we are closed on Tuesdays). The Book Nook looks forward to seeing fans and supporters of the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, Ludlow's Fletcher Memorial Library and the Mount Holly Town Library in the store June 12 through June 21.
