• Complete ALL the spaces and be entered in a raffle to win a $50 gift card to Village Books and Paper Dreams.
• Fill out one of our review shelf-talkers & we’ll hang it in the store!
Books CAN be applied to multiple spaces. Audio books are eligible.
Have fun!
Join us in celebrating summer with one of our favorite activities—READING!
This year we have two challenges to choose from for kids; a Pre-reader for the littles and then our freshened-up Kids challenge for ages Kindergarten-14! Pick up your Reading Challenge form in either Fairhaven or Lynden (or print out the form from our website), then read your way along the path to receive prizes at the end.
Here's how it works:
“Read” your way along the game board and write the titles in the appropriate spaces. Feel free to use a separate piece of paper if the spaces are too small. Please do not use the same book more than once.
NEW THIS YEAR -YOU CAN KEEP YOUR COMPLETED FORM as a fun reminder of all the great books that you read this summer! We’ll mark that you’ve completed the challenge then give you a slip to sign up for the give-away.
• Complete a Review Card. Choose a favorite book and tell us what you like about it on the provided shelf talker/review card - we’ll hang them up in the store!
• Rewards:
Complete all of the blocks and you’ll receive a $5 GIFT CERTIFICATE for Village Books & Paper Dreams, a COUPON for 20% off an item of your choice, and a certificate for a delicious COOKIE—compliments of the COLOPHON CAFE in Fairhaven or AVENUE BREAD in Lynden!
• Completed lists/review accepted through Monday, August 31, 2020.
Limit: 1 completed form per reader.
FOR THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW! We will hold a drawing in early September from the completed forms and if we draw your form, Village Books will donate a $100 gift certificate to YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARY! If a homeschooler wins, we will donate to the charity of your choice.
Stumped about what to read? Check out the great selections in our Chuckanut Reader or ask any of us at the store for help.
*PSST! Hey, adults and young adults - We have a brand new YA and Adult Bingo challenge just for you. Click here for details or just print the form found below and get started!
To Our Beloved Community,
We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and against injustice and racism. We are encouraged by the many people who are making their voices heard and are advocating for real, substantial change. During times like these, it is up to each of us individually to be responsible for change and to involve ourselves in the conversation. We can find hope in people trying to educate themselves and their children. CLICK HERE to continue reading and for a few different book lists, sorted by age (including links to our website) with titles that can help explain and aid in our education and in our conversation.
Stumped for your next read?
We love picking out books for people! Of course we love talking to folks, but if you'd like to answer a few questions, within 24 hours we'll give you a list of up to 5 hand-picked books that we personally recommend based upon your answers.
1) Log in to your account (or create one).
2) Fill out the questionnaire.
3) Once we send you the list, just follow the links we'll provide, place your order, and decide how you want them delivered. Curbside pick-up, home delivery, 99 cents for all the books you want shipped via media mail, or more $ for faster!
BUILD YOUR OWN CUSTOMIZED CARE PACKAGE!
Send love, send books and gifts, and support Village Books and Paper Dreams until we re-open to the public!
Reach out while social distancing by sending Customized Care Packages to friends, family, co-workers, employees—anyone at all, including yourself! Because when a reader is stuck at home, what's better than book mail? Choose your own, or answer a few questions about preferences and reading habits, and we'll take care of the rest. Packages include a new hardcover or paperback book and your choices of themed gifty surprises.
Thank you for supporting us in these unusual times. Our 40th birthday is June 20th, and we hope to celebrate many more with you, our remarkable community of readers.
WE MISS YOU, and look forward to welcoming you into our stores again soon.
All hands on deck! Book your cabin and join Village Books own Kelly Evert and Paul Hanson, and special guest author Kira Jane Buxton on a seabound book-club adventure of a lifetime with the Schooner Zodiac Books A'Sail Cruise setting sail September 8th - 10th, 2020!
