We had some help saying good-bye to summer at Apostrophe Books!
Many local authors stopped by and visited with us, and we have signed copies of their books available in the store. Even if you missed meeting them, you don't want to miss out on your own autographed copies of their books! Pick up
Hoodwinked, the award-winning collection by poet
David Hernandez. For a special gift for a little reader, we have signed copies of the beautifully written and illustrated
Picasso and Minou by Long Beach's own P.I. Maltbie. And for older kids, we have
Lee Wardlaw's infectious, delightful,
101 Ways to Bug Your Friends and Enemies!
Our very own Man in the Yellow Hat, Sam, helped us say good-bye to summer with a very fun Curious George storytime last Saturday afternoon. Kids of all ages had a blast "monkeying" around with Sam! Be sure to scroll down and see the pictures!
And we said good-bye to our old register and hello to a computerized inventory-tracking system. The transition has gone very smoothly, and we are thrilled with how much easier it is to find and order books for our customers. Most of all, we are very excited that this system allowed us to create our
Frequent Buyer's Club!
