Main Street Books marks
fourth anniversary March 27

Main Street Books is celebrating its fourth anniversary on March 27, and it has designated March as customer appreciation month.
Main Street Books first opened its doors on Mar. 27, 2006 with fewer than 2,000 books. Main Street Books moved from its original location at 16 South Main Street to a new larger location at 106 South Main Street on January 27, 2008.

Main Street Books continues to grow, both in size and in activity. It now carries over 16,000 books and hundreds of toys, and it has many monthly activities for all age groups.
Several activities are planned for March, including a daily surprise sale and its first ever Gently Used Book Drive. Main Street Books will be giving its customers 27 percent off coupons when they donate used books, which can be used on a one-time shopping spree until April 7. (Please, no older books, and no romance or religion volumes.)

Other events planned will be an Indie Bound bag giveaway on March 27 as well as music and a puppet show and free cake the day of the anniversary. For more information, go to mainstreetbooksminot.booksense.com or call the store at 839-4050.
