Houghton Book Shop

Reading is a good thing. http://pinterest.com/gdfalksen/

Sad news- The college will no longer sponsor the store, and the store space has already been rented to someone else. The staff here will miss all of you who made the store such a fun place to work. We are also sad not to be able to have a chance to make more friends in the future. Thanks, thanks, thanks for all your support in the past. While it lasted, it was a gas, gas, gas. So long, and remember the good times.

Many of us from the bookstore were at Sue's memorial service on Friday. It was beautiful. Sue was a special person, and is already missed.

Change in our Book Shop's schedule- The store will be closed more these days due to Sue's death: We will be closed Friday the 14th, the day of her funeral.... We will be closed after 1 on Wed. the 12th for a staff meeting. We will be closed all day on Thursdays for at least the next month. If you are ever uncertain if we are open, please call us. Please forgive us this temporary chaos. Otherwise, the store is open as usual. See more

Thanks to Barb for the information on Sue's funeral service- To be held Sept. 14th, at 2 PM, at the Reformed Lutheran Church, 111 North Chestnut Street, Roch.

Sad news- It is with profound regret that I must inform you all of the suddden death of our manager, Sue Eckert. (It is her picture to the right under "Friends".) We are all still in shock. She was the driving force behind everything that happened here. She loved books, and this store, with a passion. I am finding it hard to picture the store without her. ... No details on a service are available yet.

Congratulations to our 30th "like", Marcia Glenn! Marcia wins a $2 book of her choice!! (Imagine balloons and streamers raining down,and party horns blowing...) Thanks, Marcia, for liking our shop!

Due to volunteer scheduling conflicts, the shop will NOT be open Saturday, Aug. 11 or Sunday, Aug. 12. We are very sorry for the inconvenience! We will re-open on our normal schedule Tuesday, Aug. 14.

The Houghton Book Shop offers a safe environment for families with small children. Our children's book area is at the front of the store right across from our checkout counter. This has been our policy for more than five years and will continue. Thank you for shopping with us as a family!

This is the kind of community that I want to live in, support and help to create. Who's with me?

I just love a good... history!

The question of the day:

It's heeere! Holiday Half-Price Sale through Dec. 23. NOTHING on shop floor held back this year! Come and prowl around!
