Friends Bookstore February Promos!

February Specials

1.

Food For Thought – Last year we put a Channel One barrel in the store and offered a 20% discount to folks who made a donation (hopefully a protein) to the store.  This year if folks spend $25 in the store, they’ll get a free tote bag. The Friends kicked that off at the February 2/3 Auditorium Sale.  Channel One’s goal is to collect a mile of mac ‘n cheese.  There are alot of great books in the store for you to get your free tote bag, and help Channel One!!

 

2.

Two-fer Tuesdays – Tuesdays have traditionally been quiet days in the bookstore.  In order to bump up sales on Tuesdays (we are trying to reach our $60,000 goal to give to the Library this year!), we will have a “Two-fer Tuesday” sale during February.  

Customers will be able to buy-one-get one (of equal/ lesser value) free.  That will apply to most items in the store, the exceptions being the Rochester Reads books and the new canvas bags.  The Rochester Reads books will be here by February 13, and the bags are already in the store.

JOIN US TOMORROW (and every Tuesday this month!)

IN ADDITION IN FEBRUARY:

Food For Thought

The Friends’ Bookstore  at the Rochester Public Library will be collecting food for Channel One during the month of February. During “Food For Thought” month, anyone donating a nonperishable food item will receive a 20% discount off their entire Bookstore purchase.  Channel One is especially in need of protein items, such as peanut butter, tuna fish, and Mac ‘n Cheese.

Crafters Needed to Repurpose Books

Crafters Needed
Several of the volunteers and library staff members have been working on note cards and blank cards to
sell in the Bookstore. The Friends would like additional volunteers who like to work on craft projects
to step forward and create note cards, journals, matchbooks, or anything else that you fancy! The spiral notebooks pictured here were made with book covers from books that were too damaged for the store. If you are interested in helping with this project, contact Elizabeth Ritman.
The crafters met for the first time on September 6, and have continued to meet monthly to exchange ideas, help with other crafts (some add ribbons, others stickers, etc!) but would welcome new members. The group would also be glad for any donations of ribbon, yarn,beads, and buttons. Most of the work is accomplished at home, meetings are not mandatory, but we are looking for crafts especially to sell during the holiday season!
