We're Migrating!
Dear Reader,
Our little bookstore is soon migrating to its forever home. Are you ready for our new chapter? We are!
Please join us in saying our farewells to our current space at 104 Union Street this weekend. (Check out the #ThrowbackThursday posts going up today and tag us @oldtownbooks to join in!) We are open regular weekend hours: Saturday, February 20th 10am-7pm and Sunday, February 21st 10am-7pm. The last day to shop and pick up books at 104 South Union Street will be this Sunday, February 21st.
We will be closed for two weeks during the move starting on Monday, February 22nd, and continuing til, well, till all the books are shelved. Our aim is to be open at 130 South Royal Street by mid-March. Be sure to follow us on social media for sneak peeks and up-to-date reopening information!
But save the date: We’re doing a special behind the scenes Instagram Live on March 5th at noon. No need to RSVP, just make sure to follow us on Instagram, and log on at noon. There will be virtual door prizes, a special “State of the Bookstore” update, a ribbon-cutting, and more.
Even though our storefront will be closed the next couple of weeks, book clubs are still on! Check out our schedule of events here. While our booksellers are busy getting the new physical location in tip-top shape, our online store will feature some awesome promos that you won’t want to miss. Scroll down to learn more and set your calendar reminders so you don’t miss out on your favorites.
We can’t wait to celebrate this new milestone with all of you!
Best,
Team Old Town Books
