Summer’s Here...

 and we’re excited that we’re going to be moving out of the trailer and back into the store in July. Sandy and Catherine have been busy planning summer and fall activities, and we wanted to let you know about some opportunities to get involved.

 

Junior Advisory Board 

& Teen Advisory Boards

Our Junior Advisory Board (for 5th-6th graders) and our Teen Advisory Boards (for 8th -12th graders) both have openings for September 2009-June 2010.  These groups meet once a month during the school year and read advance copies of books that will be published in upcoming months. Board members review the books for us and write reviews. We also invite authors to meet and talk with the board members.  If you have a child at home who can’t put a book down, you’ve got a perfect candidate for membership on the board. Applications are available at the store. If you have questions, you can email Catherine Linka at catherineL@flintridgebooks.com .

 

Students needing

Community Service Hours

Students needing Community Service Hours can fulfill them by helping us move books and shelves in July.  In April, we were grateful to have students from St. Francis and Flintridge Preparatory help us clean and move thousands of books.

 

Adults – Book Testers

Finally, we’re looking for adults who love to read to become Book Testers. We will receive hundreds of advance copies of new fiction and non-fiction books this year from publishers. Try as we might, we can’t read them all.  We are happy to loan out these soon-to-be-published books if you will write a 100 word review of the book so we know whether to purchase it for the store. Contact Sandy Willardson at sandyw@flintridgebooks.com to let her know you are interested.

 

Looking forward to seeing you this summer!
