Not sure that bibliotrope is in the dictionary but one of my customers told me she saw the term in a novel she was reading and she was sharing with anyone who would listen. She defined it as someone who moves towards books, whose feet lead them to a bookstore, who used to have bumper stickers that said, "Careful, I brake for bookstores !" I'm definitely a bibliotrope - my car stops at a great little bookstore daily, my feet definitely have trod the wood of many a used bookstore and my tropism has definitely skewed my life in a particular direction. I think many of you are also bibliotropic and I wanted to sharpen your leanings in that direction by reminding you that there is just a little more than one week left in our 30% off sale which goes through the month of May.
We have a couple of events this week that may help move you in our direction. Tomorrow night, Friday, the 18th we have a free concert from a local up-and-coming musician, Joe Baglia, who is a ball of energy and full of musical skills. He is partial to contemporary pop rock and alternative rock singer/songwriters and puts on a great show. The concert is, as usual, from 7-9 p.m., and the weather looks just perfect. Come on out and chill on a Friday night and, for the more bibliotropic of you, you can browse the shop whilst listening to Joe. Best of two worlds ?
On Saturday, we're glad to welcome Philadelphian, Christina Blackburn who will be signing her new creation, Bella Journalista - a hot pink diary, planner, and more for women in all walks of life who enjoy looking at something pretty while arranging their spiritual, emotional, and physical lives. Christina will be here on Saturday, May 19 from noon to 3 p.m.
Finally, don't be out in the cold for the musical/theatrical event of the Spring - the Mount Airy Home Campanion. One of our favorite bands, Saint Mad, is putting on this show, loosely based on you know what radio show, next Sunday, May 27th from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Allen's Lane Arts Center. Cynthia and I will be there. There is limited seating so follow this link to buy your tickets as well.
