Hopping

Like bunnies, we are, down on Spring Street. Remember this when we hold our retirement party 25 years from now, how December of 2004 marked a renaissance for shopping downtown. If you've been paying attention, you'll have seen that our store is but the latest to plant roots in New Albany's downtown.

We're meeting lots of new folks who, like many of you, have wanted a bookstore to settle in on this side of the river. Many share our dedication to historic preservation and interest in the cultural and architectural heritage of this area. But our greatest desire is for many of you to meet, presumably using the store as a means to do so.

That's the purpose behind Third Space Night and our other regular events. Friday at 8 we'll start the weekend with Third Space Night (games for grownups) and we'd love to see you. Saturday is a busy day in the area and we'll be hosting children for santaKid Day stories, crafts, and games from 10 to 1. The library starts its Christmas festivities at 1 with Kris Kringle in attendance, and then at 5 we'll have a drawing to give away an autographed copy of James Patterson's santaKid, which we're sure is going to be a new classic.

At 6 we're hoping to see some of you for our Rhyme and Reason Night. We're inviting amateurs and pros to expose their works in progress and we'll have poetry and other readings and discussions. Think of this as an informal author appearance...this week we'll feature A Companion for Owls by IU professor Maurice Manning along with works by whoever shows up.

Tuesday we'll share Dessert Night with the Floyd County Young Democrats. Remember, if you have a group who needs a congenial space to meet, we've dedicated floor space for just that purpose.

Keep your heads about you this weekend, stay safe, and drop by if you get a chance.
