Dear Friend of Rakestraw Books,
Novelist Henry James once observed "Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." Add something cool to drink and a great book to read and you can sign us up!
We want to start your summer off right with news of our upcoming author visits, updates from our book groups, and details of our full program of summer reading activities for kids.
We're also working hard to put together our always-popular Summer Camp for Grown-Ups! Stay tuned for further details on that program.
As part of our year-long celebration of our 45th anniversary, I am compiling a history of the shop. If you have any photos or old (especially from before 1995!) newsletters, then I would love to see them!
Thank you for everything you to support this local indie bookstore! Come see us soon and, until then,
Happy Reading!
Michael Barnard
