Have you all heard about this? Nonprofit organization Laredo Center for the Arts is opening a small, used bookstore called LC4A. The store is actually opening today, right next to the center's main building. Its stock comes entirely, I believe, from donations, and will be very affordable: Prices will range from 25 cents to $5.00.
Local news station KGNS posted the story online earlier this morning. Watch the video here.
Can I just say--I'm really proud of Laredo. I think the community has been showing, in different ways and ever since news of B. Dalton closing hit, how important having local access to a bookstore is to it. The public library has stepped up in a big way, local businesses are donating books, and so much more.
Want to donate books or volunteer your time to work at LC4A? Call LC4A at (956) 725-1715. And, if you're local, stop by and show your support. It's located at 500 San Agustin Avenue.
What are your thoughts on this new development? Laredoans, will you start shopping for books there?
