The book cellar free#
If you enjoy English fiction, bestselling classics, thrillers, science fiction or historical fiction, then the second room of the bookstore is for you! If you are unsure of where to look for your favourite genre or author, the staff at the bookstore are friendly and helpful, do not hesitate to ask for help! For students that are always losing your textbooks, outside the bookstore are shelves for spare textbooks donated by past students, and the books are free for you to take home and try not to lose (again!). In the first room are children’s books, French books, foreign-language books, non-fiction, cookbooks and yet more textbooks. The bookstore boasts a wide selection of books, in English, French and many other languages. You might think this would be messy, however the books are carefully organised by the meticulous staff according to subject and genre across the two rooms. Tucked in the nooks and crannies of the school’s ancient bomb bunker are scores of books: fiction, non-fiction, biographies, cookbooks, textbooks and story books.
The Book Cellar has now been running for many years, under the careful care and supervision of LGB parents and PTA alike. A note on the site informs customers that books will be shipped from Bartleby’s, and e-books are always available.Hidden away under LGB’s very own primary school is the bookstore of your dreams. The Book Cellar is encouraging customers to continue patronizing the store through its IndieCommerce website. It will take place at a venue in Brattleboro that hosts community events.
The Book Cellar also plans to go through with a scheduled May 6 th event featuring Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series. “Bartleby’s will the hub of our bookselling activity,” said Sullivan, adding that she hopes to have a great summer season there. “Our local officials have been in constant contact with us, and there is an outpouring of support from our customers.”Īlthough long-range plans for The Book Cellar are yet to be determined, Sullivan said that store staff is working on moving scheduled events to her second bookstore, Bartleby’s, in Wilmington, Vermont, and elsewhere. “The community has been very supportive,” Sullivan told BTW. We are closed indefinitely and will keep you posted on future plans as soon we know what those are.” A message to customers, posted on the store website, notes: “All of The Book Cellar’s books were lost to water damage. The Brooks House is completely closed, and determinations are currently being made regarding rebuilding and clean up.
The fire, which was caused by faulty wiring in the building’s residential section, was six-alarms, necessitating 150 firefighters and about 1.8 million gallons of water. No one was injured in the blaze, but the store lost its entire inventory and shelving, said Book Cellar owner Lisa Sullivan. On Sunday, April 17, The Book Cellar in Brattleboro, Vermont, was destroyed by a catastrophic fire, which tore through The Brooks House, the downtown building that housed the bookstore and about 10 other retailers and 59 apartments.
