📚Hello bookish friends! Happy February! We're dropping in on this sleepy Sunday to make you all aware of some hours changes we have had to make this month of the Valentine! 💝
✈️ Dee needs to be unexpectedly out of town ALL MONTH 😲, so our trusty part timers, Sinsi and Michaela, are stepping up to the plate for us to cover the best they can! 🙌👏
🐈Kojak will also be taking the month off, and enjoying some lazy time at home!
🫣You may notice that Thursday is the day hardest hit by the changes this month, and unfortunately that means the February Silent Book Club meetings will be cancelled 😭.
📖We apologize for any inconvenience, but encourage you to use this opportunity to take advantage of our online store for both your print AND e-book💻 wants and needs: https://bookshop.org/shop/terracebookstore
or our audiobook 🎧 affiliates at LibroFM: https://www.libro.fm/
🤗Thank you all for your patience, your support, and commitment to shopping local!!! 💗
