Congratulations to Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, Vt., which is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a store-wide sale and party this coming Saturday, August 3.
The community appreciation sale, which will see everything in the store discounted by 20%, runs from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. From 10 a.m. until noon, Vermont author and illustrator Jason Chin will sign books, and later that day Norwich Bookstore will feature one of his books, Gravity, as part of StoryWalk in Norwich Square, which will run from August 3 until August 26. The festivities will also include a "Find Waldo" prize drawing as well as refreshments and a host of other prizes.
While store owners Bernard and Penny McConnel have put the store up for sale, they assured their customers: "We are not going anywhere until we find new owners who will embrace our history and add their own creative chapters to the story."
