In many ways the past year has flown by and in others it has dragged at a snail's pace. Thankfully, the construction is well behind us and we are happy to have vegetables and herbs flourishing in front of the store again. My family has been facing health issues for the better part of the year, however I'm happy to report that everyone is on the mend. We have also had some long time staff members say their goodbyes, so you will notice some new faces when you visit. As difficult as it is to see people go, it gives us the opportunity for new friends to join the team.

This year is The Learned Owl's 50th anniversary and we are very excited to celebrate with all of you. Party plans are in the works for the end of Sept. Stay tuned for more details as we get them confirmed. In honor of this momentous anniversary we are hoping to collect your favorite memories of The Owl. If you have something you would like to share please send it to us by snail mail, email, or stop in and share in person. We look forward to hearing from all of you. As always, thank you for your support and happy reading! - Kate
