April Fun
1.   E-Free day - Saturday, April 17, 2010  Imagine a day without cell phones, computers or video games. Imagine a day devoted only to EAT SLEEP READ.
From 11 AM - Noon we will hold an impromptu Book Club.  Come prepared to share your favorite book in an informal discussion. Take home ideas of new authors to read or new genres to explore.
Need a book for a gift?  This will be a perfect time to consult with staff.
Want to leave home to avoid electronic enticement? Bring your knitting, your letter writing or your favorite project and spend your morning at Books & More/Real Coffee.
 
 2.    Book & Rose Day - Friday, April 23, 2010.  April 23 is also the Day of St. George and according to a tradition begun in Barcelona, a day where lovers exchange gifts...a book for the man, a rose for the woman.
 
April 23 is designated International Book Day by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). April 23, 1564 is also the presumed birth date of  William Shakespeare and, coincidentally, April 23, 1616 is the date, not only of his death, but also the death of Miguel de Cervantes.
 
On April 23 Books & More/Real Coffee will be celebrating these events. When you purchase a book you will receive a rose while supplies last.
