Take time to read

Do you need to relax? Check out a book--if you like inspirational fiction, try SUMMER SNOW by Nicole Baart. This is the sequel to AFTER THE LEAVES FALL. It is a story of forgiveness and new beginnings. It is also about knowing who you are. The author is from Sioux Center, Iowa.

Are you a walker? Try our books on cd. And, announcing, that soon we will have downloadable books for your MP3 Players. Awesome new service!!!! Check our website or this blog for the date that this will go live.

Grab a cup of coffee in the morning and read the paper, read your book, or just read the ads. It is a great way to begin the morning. In fact, I think a flavored coffee is just the thing with a good book.

Summer reading begins the first week of June. This year we want adults and kids to track the minutes that they read. Who will read the most--adults or kids? I think I have a pretty good idea on this one!

Oh, we had our book sale today. Thanks to everyone who bought books to help us with our budget. We still have some left and they will be on sale at further reduced prices through the end of May. Bargains galore!
