RELOCATION UPDATE from the store's owner...
Construction frenzy is in full flow at our new location (see pictures below)and the "personality" of the new space is beginning to emerge. The beauty of the wood ceiling and the massive beam structure is luminous under the skylights. New storefront windows have been installed. The mezzanine structure is just about complete. Light fixtures are being hung. We're deep in the process of figuring out which sections will go wheretrying to balance the space needs of each with a flow from subject to subject that makes as much sense as possible. Andattempting to organize the million details of the moveso that we can respond to the half-million that we might not have thought of.
Here's what the schedule looks like: Our last day of business at 101 S. Main will be Wednesday, March 31. We'll open at 1521 10th Avenue as soon thereafter as possiblebut in any event by April 14. Besides un-shelving, moving and re-shelving all the books, the most complicatedand time-consuming—aspect of the move is the shelves themselves. We'll have a team of carpenters dismantling all the cedar shelving down to components, trucking the lumber to the new building, and rebuilding shelves (of course all the dimensions will be different) on site. We’ll open the doors at the earliest possible date, but are allowing as much as two weeks, if necessary.
I want to thank everyone who has reached out with words of support and encouragementwhat a tonic it's been in these tumultuous times to know how many people care so much.
Looking forward to seeing youfor the balance of our duration at 1st & Mainand thenin Aprilon the other side.

OUR BOOK OF THE WEEK...
The Storm in the Barn
by Matt Phelan (Candlewick)
The time is 1937 and the place is Kansas in the midst of the Dust Bowl. Eleven-year-old Jack certainly has much to contend with. His older sister is sick, his younger sister is mischievous, he's being bullied at school, his father is too proud to accept his help, and worst of all, he's discovered something strange and sinister in the neighbor's barn. Is it just "dust dementia" he is suffering from? Will Jack somehow face his demons and save the town? Will the rain ever return? Find out in this charming and unique new historical graphic novel. -David
