April Bookstore Events & Announcements
Don’t mind the construction dust here on the website, we’ve been updating things a bit! We hope you love the new look and would love to hear your feedback. Let’s get our announcements out of the way, then get on to the fun stuff!
Announcements
With rising costs, we made the decision to reduce our hours rather than increase our prices. But as we expand the number of ways our wonderful customers can support us, we hope that we will be able to extend hours again in the future!
New Hours:
Thursday: 9am - 3pm
Friday: 9am - 4pm
Saturday: 9am - 4pm
Sunday: 9am - 3pm
Closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Book Ordering
We are so excited to announce that Spellbound will soon be carrying a wonderful selection of fresh-off-the-press books! Our first order is on its way to the shop, but we’d love to hear what you all want to see on our shelves! If you have a particular request or want to order a few copies for a book club, we can now order new books on behalf of customers. Alternatively, if you love to shop for books online, Spellbound will soon be available to support on Bookshop.org! Keep your eyes peeled for our announcement as soon as it’s official!
For more ways to support Spellbound (and pamper your coffee and reading habits at the same time), check out our upcoming events!
Upcoming Events
We have a number of exciting events coming up in April!
Starting out with a bang for Owego’s First Friday, we have an author meet & greet! Come join us on Friday, April 4 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM to visit with local author, Dee Calvasina. Dee will be sharing her book, “Beyond the Fence, The Amazing World of Deer Haven Park.” For more details, check out the event listing here.
Next up on Sunday, April 13, the Enchanted Books Society Book Club will be having their usual meeting from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. If you’ve been looking for a club to join, stop by and meet the club!
The next day, Monday, April 14th, reserve your seat and join us at Spellbound to learn how to mend! Missing buttons, torn hems and growing holes don’t stand a chance against the combined knowledge of our sewing and mending instructors. If you’ve been hearing the phrase “visible mending” floating around, this is a great opportunity to learn what it’s all about! Check out the event listing and purchase your seat here.
The Under the Canopy Writers’ Group will be meeting up at Spellbound on Thursday, April 17th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. You can join local authors of all kinds in this supportive group. Whether you’re looking to hone your writing or bolster your confidence, this is the group for you! Find additional details here.
We may have some additional events coming up at the end of April, so be sure to bookmark our website, sign up for our Substack, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates!
