*Holiday Weekend Hours*

In observation of the 4th of July holiday, we have slightly modified our hours this weekend. We'll be open our normal hours on Friday and Sunday (10-8 and 10-4, respectively), but will be closing at 2 PM on Saturday.

As our nation marks the occasion of its 250th birthday, many may find themselves reflecting on the country's past, present, and future. This month, we have put together a specially curated selection of books for those wanting to read more about America's complicated history and the people and events that shaped it.

How many of these are on your list?
