The End of the Year and the Line

This is going to be another very personal post, so hang with me.  While Booknotes hasn't had the exactly best of years, it has come to the point where we cannot stay in business in its current form.  Therefore, sometime in 2019, Booknotes will change or possibly close for good.  Among the reasons for this is my desire to go back to school.  I have been taking some online graduate school classes, and I am hoping to transfer to a program with actual physical classes.  When this happens, I will be leaving the area, so I would do longer have a direct association with the store.  I am looking into various means of keeping the store open as long as possible, though.  One possibility is merging with another local business, or even outright selling it to someone else to keep it going.  There is the chance that the store will go online only, but that might not be a viable option without help.  Until then, Booknotes will try to continue as it has.  Weekly updates to the new releases will be posted, as will the blog on every other week.  New material will appear on our Facebook page.  (We are all but ending posting anything new on Google + as the platform will be ending soon itself.)  I, and Booknotes, would like to thank all of our friends and longtime customers for your help over the years, and we would like to continue this as long as possible.  Here's to a new year, and see you in two weeks.
