Skidompha Secondhand Book Shop in Damariscotta has announced two special events: its first-ever story hour, which is the beginning of a regular program new to the shop; and a sale on all things holiday-related.
On Saturday, Nov. 25, as part of the Villages of Light celebration, everything related to the holidays, including books and music, will be on sale at half price. The sale will start that day and continue until the shop closes for Christmas at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 24.
On Friday, Dec. 1, the shop will offer its first-ever story hour, with Mark Ferrero, youth services children’ librarian at Skidompha library. Story hour begins at 10 a.m., and children of all ages are invited. Ferrero will share stories at the same time every Friday after that. These story times are in addition to the popular story hours he hosts at the library.
The Skidompha Book Shop, located on Back Street Landing, is managed and staffed entirely by volunteers, and all items are donated. In 2018, it will celebrate its 50th anniversary of providing financial support to Skidompha library.
The shop’s regular hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays. From now until Christmas, it will also be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.
Donations are accepted whenever the shop is open.
