Happy July!

It has been a beautiful summer so far, and we have a fun-filled month ahead of us. Our annual Where's Waldo search and Sidewalk Sale will be happening, as well as the much-anticipated release of the eighth epic Harry Potter story.

In the interest of full disclosure, I want to be sure everyone is clear on what this is. This is a special rehearsal edition script book based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne & John Tiffany. It is not the next book in the Harry Potter series. It is based on a story by J.K. Rowling, but not actually written by her. This is not the final edition of the script. The play opens in London the same weekend the script will be released. Because plays tend to evolve for the first few weeks and sometimes even months after they open, a final script book will be released in 2017. With all of this in mind, we are still very excited, and will be celebrating the continuation of the story line with a midnight release party for anyone who has prepurchased or preordered the book with us.

Main Street Construction Update: The orange barrels have arrived and are lined up like soldiers along the Green. A few detour signs have gone up and are waiting to be uncovered. Unfortunately, we still don't have an exact start date. We will do our best to keep you informed as we get updates. In the meantime, it would be wonderful if you all would consider writing to the Hub and our other local papers about the importance of supporting the local shops along Main Street, especially during the construction when we will undoubtedly see a dip in foot traffic. 

Thank you for your support, and happy reading!
