An update from George & Judy

Dear Friends,

The exciting news this month is about Robin Wood, one of our long-time employees. Robin joined the staff of Books & Books @ The Studios as a volunteer shortly after we opened, but we quickly put her on the payroll. She is currently our Social Media Manager, handling all our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts as well as this newsletter. She manages our virtual book club. She’s also our resident expert on Middle Grade, YA, Graphic Novels and Science Fiction. Her breadth of reading is daunting.

Robin’s horizons broadened this month when she was hired as the Communications and Marketing Specialist of the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc). No worries, it’s a remote job, and she’ll be able to continue her work for us on a part-time basis. Binc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to assisting booksellers in need. It has been tremendously helpful to bookstore employees adversely affected by the panoply of natural disasters in recent years, as well as by the ongoing COVID crisis. We wish her well in this new position. Click here for more info on Binc.

The store’s preparations for the coming shopping season are fully underway. We’re stocking up on gift items like snow globes, mini-clocks, puzzles, and socks — that have proven so popular. We’re cramming our shelves with the latest books, fresh off the presses. Come in any time and take a look. We’re open every day from 10 to 12 for appointment browsing, and from 12 to 5 for general admission. Masks required, and gloves provided at the door.

Look for more news about special holiday shopping hours coming soon.

Can’t wait to see you!

George + Judy
