I have created a message board for book-related news and discussion. I have not yet placed a link to it from the website proper because it is only a trial run. We'll see what happens with it. In the meantime, you can find it at the following address:

Changes to the Website
Greetings and Salutations! May went by in a flash. Lots of bizarre and wonderful happenings here at the Lion; I'll elaborate in upcoming posts. Suffice it to say that among mad-cap inventory antics, barnyard animal invasions (yes, really), and a surprise celebrity appearance, things have been quite lively in the bookstore.
I've a few immediate updates. First, you may have noticed some changes to the website. We finally have the in-store stock catalogued, so a rough version of it can be viewed by clicking on the "browse our stacks" home page button. As time goes on, the catalogue will be significantly more informative, but it should even now give a general overview of our inventory. Prices should be posted by the end of next month. Second, I have moved our "Letters from the Lion" into this blog format to make them a) easier to update and b) comment-friendly. I welcome your comments and suggestions as well as any book news you may find.
If you have any anecdotes to share about the history of our building and/or the previous businesses it has held, please email me or drop by the shop. That's all, folks, at least for now. Happy reading!

I did manage to get a few seedlings in the ground last month, so hopefully in time I'll be browsing through the Literary Lion's cookbook section for creative ways to serve eggplant, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, garlic, and watermelon--probably not in the same dish.This month we will have our first "Open Mike" poetry night. I look forward to hearing you emote, Stephenville, so don't be shy. The event is free; please sign up in the store or shoot me an email so I'll know how much coffee to brew.The online search feature of our website should be up shortly, by the way. Thanks for your interest in this feature.

It feels like May outside, so we've got a terminal case of gardening fever. Restraint, restraint, and focus on books. There. Better.To celebrate this early springtime weather, we last month featured books about birds. We still have our collection on display, and it's chock full of Field guides, feeding and watching handbooks, nature essays, and, of course, several fiction books, too. Mr. Popper's Penguins, anyone? This month we will feature anything Irish. Travel guides, fairy tales, modern fiction by authors from the Emerald Isle...you get the picture. What else...oh. If you would like to receive a monthly e-mail updating you on our events and new services, please shoot us an email with the word "NEWSLETTER" in the subject line.
