Gearing Up for Spring Sidewalk Sale

Spring is in the air, as we can tell from the unpredictable first-it’s-nice-than-it’s-not weather we’re all experiencing, right? Right now everyone’s just hoping those azaleas last ’til the Azalea Fest at the end of the month… fingers crossed.

But before that, downtown Summerville merchants are gearing up for a fabulous Spring Sidewalk Sale this Saturday and we’re excited to be a part of it. We’ll have HALF OFF books sprinkled around the store, with featured titles up front and super-special pricing out front (inside if the spring weather doesn’t cooperate).

Tons of favorite titles will be on offer so don’t miss this chance to stock up, before hundreds more new spring titles head our way!
