As you know, we are a used book store.  While many people like come in and browse around the store waiting for a book to “jump off the shelf” at them, others come in looking for a particular title.  In order to help build up our inventory of requested books, we are running a contest, similar to the one we ran last year at this time.

After a long winter slumber, we are re-opening on Friday, March 29! We have many new things planned for 2013 but we are keeping all of your favorites!

We are still proud to serve Coda Coffee, an awesome organic and fairly-traded coffee. We will also continue to offer fresh-brewed iced tea, fruit smoothies, frozen frappes, and a great selection of baked goods and other food items.

Since The Bookend Café is closed for the winter, many of our regulars have been forced to drink coffee at home (gasp!). While we always hope you’ll visit us for all your coffee needs, we understand that from time to time, you’ll need to make coffee with your good old drip coffee maker. According to our friends at www.talkaboutcoffee.com, drip coffee makers are the single most popular small kitchen appliance in the US.

The Bookend Café is proud to support World Book Night again this year. World Book Night is an annual celebration designed to spread a love of reading and books. It will see tens of thousands of people go out into their communities to spread the joy and love of reading by giving out free World Book Night paperbacks on April 23, 2013.

Successfully launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night was also celebrated in the U.S. in 2012, with news of more countries to come in future years. This year the goal is to grow even more.
