Book Exchange of Foley

Yet again, we must part ways with a wonderful team member! 😢

Everyone, say goodbye to Bianca. We will miss her dearly. Having been with us for five years, her dedication to our stores will never be forgotten.

She's found a great new opportunity, and we hope you'll join us in wishing her the best on her new journey!🌟

That being said, we ARE making progress with construction! There is no set timeline yet for when we'll be reopening; however, we hope to finish up toward the end of this month. Stick with us—we really miss y'all!

Don't forget, Action Game and Movie is open and here for your entertainment (apart from books, that is 😭). I know you're all excited to flip the pages, but this is the perfect opportunity to try out a new game or embrace a nostalgic movie! Come and see us💓

A huge thank you to everyone: our team members, the City of Foley, contractors, and construction workers. The world can be difficult to navigate, but with teamwork and perseverance, we can make it! 🦋

As always, we wish you all the best and thanks SO much for your continued support. A very merry and happy Monday to you all!🥳

When it rains, it pours. ☔ Still no solid timeline for reopening; might have an update next week.
Say goodbye to Katie. 👋😢 Yesterday was her last day with us. This kind of change is very emotional, especially since she has been on the team for so long. Over the years, she has helped with countless tasks and supervised not only the Book Exchange but also Action Game and Movie. She found an awesome new opportunity - very proud of this young lady. We're all going to miss her around here.

Good news on Good Friday! 🙏The contractors are bringing in equipment. 🗜 While we still don’t have a firm timeline, it’s looking more like a matter of weeks rather than months before we can safely reopen. 🏪

Well, the ceiling/roof problem forced us to temporarily close . We still don’t know how long it will be before we can reopen.
Yes, it’s a bummer, but staying optimistic (don’t know whether to laugh or cry 😭 right now) because although we’re facing some downtime, when we reopen, it’s going to be awesome 🌟—like a grand reopening. During this setback, we’re finding lots of great books in our sorting backlog.

We’re very grateful 💖 for those of you keeping us in business by shopping Action Game and Movie and visiting the Novel Rose! Thanks for the calls and messages of encouragement; they are greatly appreciated.
