The Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library will be holding their Spring Book Sale in the near future! I have attached a photo of dates and times for the sale. Maybe we will see you there!

Some additional information about the Stow-Munroe Falls Friends of the Library Bag Sale on Saturday!

The Bag Sale will end promptly at 2:00 p.m. The doors will be closed for 15 minutes so the room can be straightened up.

The doors will be reopened at 2:15 p.m. From then until 3:00 p.m., all remaining books will be FREE!

Pick up some books to read or to give as gifts! Use some books to decorate! Start a Little Lending Library or add to one that already exists!

Tell all of your friends and come on in!

The Buckeye Bookshop building ceased to exist on Tuesday, May 4. Both the Bookshop and the barbershop were demolished today. Lots of great memories of wonderful books and wonderful customers!

Hello, everyone! We are in the final stages of emptying our Buckeye Bookshop building.

We still have more than 1,000 books left on some of the shelves, so we are making our followers a special offer.

We will have the Bookshop open this Saturday (March 7) from Noon until 5 p.m.

All of the remaining books on the open shelves are now free to a good home! (We also still have a nice selection of special-priced books at the sales counter that are now discounted 80% off of the marked price!)

Get some for your library or for gifts. Stock up on books for your next garage sale. Take a few to level that wobbly table that has been irritating you. Use books of specific colors to decorate those shelves in the corner. Use pictures for the kids' craft or school projects. The possibilities are endless!

All you need are some interesting books, and now you know where and when to get them!

Bring a friend or two and do us both a favor!

See you on Saturday between Noon and 5 p.m.!

Doug Livingston, Beacon Journal reporter, wrote a nice article about Buckeye Bookshop and Brittain Road Barbers in the paper published on December 31, 2019.

Akron’s oldest used bookstore, one of only two left in the city, closed for good Saturday. And the barbershop next door isn’t far behind.For

Amani Abraham from WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland visited Buckeye Bookshop on Friday, December 27, to interview us about the shop's closing on December 28. The piece aired on the 11 o'clock news on Friday night.

All books must go – and that means all 4,000 of them that are left.

Hey, Everybody!

This is the last week for Buckeye Bookshop as we know it!

We will be retiring at the end of the day on Saturday, December 28. Dotti is already wearing her party hat and has a glass of champagne in her hand!

We still have more than 4,000 nice hardcover and softcover books on the shelves for 50 cents each. We have more than 1,000 mass market paperbacks left as well, for 25 cents each. You can still wedge as many books as you can into one of our paper grocery bags for only $5.00.

In addition, the first person who hands me $500.00 in cash can have all of the remaining books on the open shelves. Read them, give them as gifts, donate them, open your own book store! The possibilities are endless!
