The Bookshop Lady
Our Bookshop Lady is wearing her spring lilac headdress and greets you at the front door. She is kindly wearing a mask in consideration of others. We would like our customers to use the hand sanitizer that we provide and to wear a mask as well.
To keep us all healthy, there is a limit of 10 people in the shop at one time.
Thank you!
