What a great weekend at Bartleby's! It was great to be open again, if only for the weekend and with our limited inventory. Our customers, friends and neighbors were so supportive. We can't wait until we open fully in November.
Also, many thanks to my children, Ally and Zach, and their friends Julia, Noura, Ella, Jillian and James for running the best darn lemonade stand ever. The kids raised $661 for the Wilmington VT Flood Relief Fund. Thanks for supporting their efforts.
Thanks to Bartleby's staff for volunteering their time and energy this weekend and thanks to Pamela, Dawno and Khaled for bringing the extra energy from Rhode Island. Thanks to Phil for getting the store to a place where we could host this sale.
This weekend really lifted our spirits!
Thanks to all,
Lisa

Flooding from Irene shuts down Bartleby's
Submitted by sullivermont on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 10:28pm

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post about the flooding in Wilmington. Bartleby's is currently closed (as is the whole of downtown Wilmington) due to devastating flooding. We have lost the majority of our inventory as well as all of our shelving and we'll require extensive renovations, but the building is sound and we are one of the more fortunate sites in the village. Some buildings washed away down river and others have been condemned. The incredible strength and support that we have experienced over the last few days has been the lifeline we've needed. Friends and neighbors have come together to help our community. The downtown businesses are getting cleaned up more quickly with so much volunteer help.
Bartleby's will reopen and we will do whatever we can to help other businesses and individuals affected. We are blessed to live and work in this community. Wilmington will be put back together!
We will post updates as we have them. Thank you for your support.

April is Poetry Month

In celebration of Poetry Month, The Book Cellar is holding a Guess the Poet raffle. Here's how it works: come by the store and take a gander at the poem we have featured in our April window display. Guesses may be submitted for multiple poets, but only one submission per poet will be accepted. For example: if you think the mystery poet is Emily Dickinson, you may place her name in the drawing one time. If you think the mystery poet may be Emily Dickinson OR Charles Bukowski, you may enter a submission of each author one time. A winner will be drawn at the end of the day on April 30th. A $10 gift certificate (redeemable at either The Book Cellar or Bartleby's Books) awaits the conquering champion!
Book Cellar regulars Addy and Mark added their guesses to the raffle. Mark's take the on mystery poet, "We read a lot of Neruda, and I don't think it's Neruda."
