Press release here:
Wednesday, March 2nd, 4-7pm, at The Hop (640 Merrimon Ave):
Have some children’s books that could use a new home (donations are welcome any time prior to the event)? Have some children that are looking for something new to read? In honor of Dr. Seuss’ Birfday, we invite you all to a “Give a Book, Take a Book” event for kids and families at The Hop on Merrimon. In addition, all remaining books will be donated to Help Mate, http://www.helpmateonline.org/, a very worthy domestic violence agency/shelter in Asheville.
(If you would be interested in further donations to Help Mate, they are always in need of toilet paper and paper towels. Here is their entire Wish List.)
Also, from 6-7pm, we will open up the space in our store for a Dr. Seuss themed open-mic session hosted by local poet Barbie Angell. Anything Seuss-related goes! Prepare a reading, costumes, skits created by your family, et cetera. This will be an occasion for all Seuss lovers to shine!
