Warner Bookstore - The place to be

The FreedBook found itself outside the coolest Bookstore in the U.S. this week.
As you know we've supported the Books For London campaign, that encourages commuters to swap their used books rather than bin them, but MainStreet Book Ends is a step further towards sustainability. The bookstore is only the second bookstore in the US to be fully powered by solar energy!

Katharyn Nevins (pictured) is the owner of this fantastic community store and a supporter of our magnetic adventures (MOAP).
The bookstore has an attached carriage house which has been converted into a gallery for artist to display and sell their work, along with a cafe, which screens movies, hosts book and poetry readings and houses the local farmers market twice a week.  Katharyn is an advocate of buying local and supporting small businesses.  The grounds around the bookstore are given over to the public with a patio for public gatherings and an amphitheater for concerts.

One day we'll hope to get out there and have an exhibition in the grounds of the Bookstore if Katharyn will accomodate our motley crew.
Thanks to MOAP director and CollectConnect artist Tom Hosmer for the photo and his tireless support.

Free in Concord, New Hampshire, USA

FreedBook has been set free in Concord, New Hampshire, USA but luckily found itself in the safe hands of Jemi Broussard.
Phew!
Jemi is the Membership Coordinator for Red River Theatres and a great supporter of the arts.  http://www.redrivertheatres.org/ 
...and it seems a great supporter of all things British too....
Red River Theatre has a British Thriller Series running on Sundays where they serve tea and biscuits during the film.
Can't get better than that!

FreedBook author/artist and top bloke Tom Hosmer (page 24) is our man in Concord. He organised the successful MOAP exhibition in August 2011 with the New Hampshire chapter of the Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA-NH). Aswell as exhibiting hundreds of magnets at the Minor Threat Pop-Up Gallery he hit the streets of Concord, placing magnets on store facades for the public to pick up.

And when Jemi and Tom next come over to the UK we'll treat them to some Custard Creams with their tea.
