I hate to say it, but we, like everyone else, are having financial difficulties. This economic downturn and the rise of the big box booksellers are killing us. We never intended to make a profit, that’s why we have always been a 501c3, now nationally recognized. Unfortunately due to fiscal irresponsibility in our local government there is no money in Jefferson County for grants, and since we have been around for less than three years, most state grants wont cover us. We are doing everything we can to raise money but we need your help. No one here gets paid or draws a salary, the store provides food for volunteers and occasionally gas money but that’s about it…
