Liz Says

I recently returned from the ABA Winter Institute (WI7) FULL of new ideas, which have inspired the entire staff. Watch for an improved website; easier access to all staff favorites, both online and in the store; some rearranging of store sections; and more emphasis on the fact that YES, you can download eBooks from us. (It's particularly easy if you have an iPad or a Nook Color or Tablet.)
 
Each Saturday in February, we will be having an eReader "Petting Zoo" from 3-5 PM. We will have a Nook and an iPad to play with; and if you'd like to bring your own eReader, we'll show you how to use our site.

Our Twitter and Facebook posts will, we hope, inspire you to follow us regularly. (And what does The Owl want for Valentine's Day? 1,000 'likes' on Facebook, of course... spread the word!) 
 
The MOST exciting news out of WI7 is the upcoming World Book Night on April 23. The Learned Owl will be right in the thick of things - all details are here. The deadline for YOUR participation is next Monday, Feb. 6. One million books, distributed free throughout the US by people who love books! 
 
I, for one, am enjoying the little bit of snow we had over the weekend - makes it a perfect time to curl up with a good book. 
 
Happy Reading,  
Liz
