Love Your Library

This March, we're excited about our in-store It's Green curation! Whether you're celebrating St. Paddy's, concocting green smoothies, feeling green with envy, or just really love the color, we've got you covered.

Plus, we're kicking off April's National Poetry Month with World Poetry Day on Saturday, March 21. Sit a spell at our store typewriter to share a rollicking limerick with the community, and enjoy 50% off poetry and all items store-wide during our Member sale on 3/21.

This month on bookshop.org, we're highlighting our custom children's collection honoring Women's History All Year Long. Don't miss our in-store curation featuring even more material celebrating Women's History Month.

Have you visited the Bookmark for our Monthly Member Sale? Mark your calendars for our next recurring sale March 21-22 and every third weekend of the month thereafter. Members receive 50% off on Saturday, and everyone receives 30% off on Sunday.

Join or renew your Membership today, and spread the love with a gift membership!

Our next donation pause is March 20-21, ahead of our monthly sale (every third weekend of the month).
