Peter Apel Concert Wednesday, August 5
at 10:30 AM
!

Welcome Peter Apel to the Summer Concert Series! All of Peter's songs are written and recorded with care for the family audience. With a variety of instruments and styles finding their way into his recorded collections, Apel's passion for music comes through.
 

Join us and enjoy catchy, original songs that educate, draw laughter and stir imagination, making them favorites at school, at home and in the car.  With two children of his own, this performer/dad is known for his ability to connect with parents and kids alike, and for effectively working humor and life's lessons into recorded songs as well as live performances.


Suggested admission is one new book per family, preferably purchased at Linden Tree, that will go to Reading Partners, a non-profit that provides free literacy tutoring with local children who are aiming for grade-level reading proficiency.

 

All performances are Wednesdays at 10:30.

 

Our remaining lineup:

This long-time tradition is one we are proud to continue: promoting local musicians and entertainers, providing a cozy (and air conditioned) space for the community, and getting books into the hands of children who need them most.


Hiring Booksellers!

 

Love to work with children's literature? Find joy in getting the right book in the hands of a reader? Do you have a background in book selling, library science, children's education and/or children's books? 
 
Linden Tree is looking for experienced, part time Booksellers. 
 
A background in book selling, library science or a children's based environment is required. A strong knowledge of children's literature and equally strong customer service skills is essential. 

Must have the flexibility to work at least 16 hours per week to include weekend hours. Educators, librarians, and booksellers are all encouraged to inquire. Linden Tree is a destination location for book lovers, located in the heart of downtown Los Altos.
