Meet Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale!
Shannon Hale is the author of many great books for young readers, including Princess Academy. Her new book, Dangerous, is getting great reviews. It's got action--it's got romance--it's science fiction--it's a fantastic read for young adults. Join us to welcome her to Concord on Friday, March 7, at 5 PM! That's here at the bookstore.

A lot of heart, and a lot of art

Last week, a supportive but concerned customer wrote to our local paper, The Concord Monitor, wondering about the sidewalk art in front of our building. The story of that art is here.  Shown above are Kate Whouley (left), our design consultant for the entire store, and her friend Susan York, who painted not only the sidewalk but the wonderful mural, shown above, in our children's section.

(If you aren't a Monitor subscriber--and honestly, why aren't you?--but if you aren't, the text of the article is here.)
