Solano Avenue
Join us for the yearly closing of the street as locals
parade, dance, listen to music, eat and generally
enjoy a day in the sun. This year we'll have a booth
in front of our store where we'll feature some of our
favorite books. We will be sponsoring the appearance
of River of Words, a non-profit that
educates children about the environment. Their
booth will feature
children's artwork and poetry from around the world.

| Banned Books Week |
 |
|
September 23-30 is the week designated
as
Banned
Books Week, and our windows will feature titles that
have been challenged over the years. As you read
some of these challenges, please bear in mind that
the effort to preserve our First Amendment rights is
ongoing. We are fortunate to have an
organization,
American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression,
(ABFFE), which works on our behalf to counter
attempts to censor what people may read in this
country.
We are collecting contributions this week
for ABFFE (Check out the FREADOM box at the
counter) and will also donate to them a portion of
the proceeds of the week.
