NEW at Page 2 BOOKS
 DROP OFF HOURS EXPAND: As of this month we will be accepting your books for Store Credit during ALL open hours. We still have the "2 bags at a time" limit. If you have more than 2 bags or have any questions, please call us. BIRTHDAY CLUB: By popular suggestion, during your birthday month you will now receive a coupon via email for a FREE used BOOK! There will be no dollar limit on your free book, so you can really treat yourself! We want to help you celebrate your birthday so sign up now if you haven't already!  CHILDREN'S FREE BOOK EXCHANGE: Beginning October 1, children up through 6th grade can build their own Store Credit account and then use their store credit to pay for their entire purchase of used books. No cash needed! Only children can participate. To get store credit, the child must come in with his/her books. To use the store credit, the child must pick out their own books. This special program expires in June of their 6th grade year. Any remaining credit can then be used as Store Credit and applied to discounts on books purchased from us. NEW EMPLOYEE: Erin Sloan is now working at Page 2 BOOKS! Erin lives in Normandy Park and is a first year student at Seattle Central Community College. As a high school student, Erin worked in her school library. Erin loves books and is especially knowledgeable in Science Fiction and Young Adult books. Erin works Thursday and Friday afternoons. Please stop by, introduce yourself, and welcome Erin into our book world. |
 Spreading the word - helping us grow
You, our customers, are amazing! Every day we have new customers who tell us they got the word from you! Thank you, thank you!
- One of our customers recently bought five books to give to her friends so she can show them first-hand the quality of our used books. She is including a bookmark so they will be able to find us easily.
- Another customer has an Avon business. She puts our bookmarks in each of the catalogs she distributes.
- And yet another customer came by the store the other day to get a handful of bookmarks to take to her book group.
- One new customer said he was standing in line at Fred Meyer with a book in his hand. The person behind him tapped him on the shoulder and said "Do you know about Page 2 BOOKS?"

 We ARE Making A Difference!
In September we collected and delivered four heaping grocery carts of food. Let's keep up the good work! Our local Highline Food Bank needs Baby Food. According to director Mike Werle there is never enough baby food to satisfy the demand. Page 2 BOOKS is a local 'drop off' site so it's even easier to donate food. We deliver your food donations once a week (Tuesdays). Encourage everyone you know to add a jar or two of baby food as they shop and bring it by Page 2 BOOKS.
Food is at the heart of literacy. |
 The Rest of the Story...
Being part of Page 2 BOOKS gets me into many interesting situations September was no exception. I have been a fan of Nancy Pearl, former head of Seattle Public Library, for many years. I know her best from books she has written: Book Lust, More Book Lust and Book Crush.
Last month I was listening to Nancy review books on her regular Friday morning KUOW radio show when she mentioned that Jane Haddam's books were hard to find. "Wait!", I said to myself, "Page 2 BOOKS has several Haddam titles." After email exchanges, imagine my thrill when Nancy Pearl visited Page 2 BOOKS and added our Haddam books to her personal library.
If you haven't been introduced to Nancy Pearl, now is the time! Check her website at www.nancypearl.com and don't miss the Action Doll Figure! |
