June 2026 Newsletter

June is for Dads--and, Summer!

“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” — Oscar Wilde

We're embracing the warm weather and the upcoming celebration of summer--check out our traditional wading pool of great summer reads for beach vacations (used books are the best antidotes to worrying about spilling drinks on pristine new ones...:). Take the opportunity of late sunsets to read on the porch. Make a promise to yourself to substitute, for just an hour, an inspiring book instead of catching up on Facebook. Or, challenge yourself to figure out how to overcome adversity by reading a book by someone who did. And for help in "getting out there," we have some great books on hiking on Southeastern trails and the Canadian Rockies! And, traveling around the South!

This month we welcome in Father's Day--that's Sunday, June 14th! Stop by and pick out a book to give your dad--one that says you chose it especially for him cause you recognize how special he is.

Flag Show Alert! If you have a photograph--matted or framed--that includes an American flag bring it by the store before the first of July--we'd love to include it in our traditional Flag Show next month! And, celebrate Flag Day on June 14th--the flag was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 during the Revolutionary War--we'll be flying our "big" flag at the store all this month!

Stop by, join one of our book groups, share your thoughts about contemporary topics at Living Room Conversations...and tell us what you're reading!
