Got a big donation of DVD from generous neighbors and Library excess – Thanks Neighbors! Thanks Michael! Many on the shelf today, updates all week.

Thanks to a generous donation from our neighbors, new in Serendipity, many Family and Children’s VHSs.

The Eureka Friends of the Redwood Libraries (FRL) served wine at the August Art’s Alive Event, hosted by the great Eureka Books Book Store. In addition to serving wine, the FRL members brought along book art created by Dolores Guffey; postcards and book marks made from recycled vintage books. Unsold book marks and post cards will be available in the Serendipity Book Store, in the Eureka Public Library, 2nd Floor.

Through the end of July, all Serendipity Quilt and Crafts Books just 25 Cents! Values up to $3! On the Serendipity Book Store ‘Specials’ table, just outside the Serendipity Book Store, and inside the Serendipity Book Store.

And finally, to the left of the Serendipity door, is our Coffee Table Spinner. It is always a challenge to display large books and small books so they have a chance to be properly appreciated, cherished, and bought. The spinner is the temporary home for plus size books, usually for about a month, picked by the staff as deserving a shot to find a home. As always the picks are eclectic, and usually aggressively priced. We do what we can to make these books irresistible. Nobody wins when they go to recycle.

That is the end of the Serendipity Tour, Part 1. We almost made it in the door. And now a word about our book sales. Read more
