This Week Only: Brilliant Books Trial Memberships!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2021

The week leading up to Independent Bookstore Day is usually filled with lots of excitement and fun events.  This year, however, COVID cases are up, the weather is grim, and we're open by appointment only, which has put a serious damper on both our spirits and our income.

All in all, it's not nearly as festive as we'd like.

To try and make this week a bit more fun and to celebrate the true spirit of independent bookstores, we've come up with something we think everyone can enjoy:

A free trial run of Brilliant Books Memberships

Meet Helene

She's our intern-of-all-trades, from helping manage traffic and capacity levels at the door to packing books for Brilliant Books Monthly shipments.  In fact, she's been such an integral part of our work for the past year that we couldn't believe we hadn't already introduced her!

Change of Plans!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2020

Last week, we experimented with changing up our hours a bit, but as it turns out, our customers prefered our previous schedule of 10-5!  So that's what we will be reverting to for the foreseeable future—though keep in mind, the "foreseeable future" is not that large a measure these days.

This week, due to the increased risk from gatherings and travel, we are implementing some additional safety measures for our staff and customers on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
