When Book Rack Used Books and Gifts offered me a behind-the-scenes tour of their expansion project I jumped at the chance! I got some great shots and all the info you need to know about their upcoming grand re-opening celebration on Small Business Saturday.
First, to find out why local used bookstores ROCK, read this post. In it, I tell you all about Book Rack and give you general guidelines as to services and policies of most used bookstores. If you don't live locally, you'll find all the questions you need to ask your local used bookstores.
Expansion Facts and Features:
The expansion doubled the store's square footage, allowing space for a brand new checkout counter.
New gift items!
Check out the new lines of mainly book inspired gift items!
Everywhere I turned, I spied new products! There's a lot to see! So,
take your time and soak it all in!
Owner, Stacy Hardin, has designed many hand-made candle and gift items for the store. She is a HUGE Harry Potter fan and has unique items that no one else in town stocks.If you live out of town, she can ship books or gift items to you!
Expanded candle section!
Hardin Soy Candles is another of Stacy's passions! She never fails to amaze me with the unique scents that she concocts. These are very clean-burning candles and soy melts. You get the real scent and not an artificial candle smell! I have to keep my boys from buying new ones every time we are in the store!
New Shelving
As you can see, there are still "a few" books being shelved.
Expanded Children's Section
Here, a whimsical tin man keeps a silent vigil, guarding the unshelved children's books.
The children's section is double the size of the old room!
New Teen Room!
Over the shoulder of the tin watchman, you can see the almost magical door, leading to the new teen room. The rooms are connected, to allow moms with multiple aged children to keep within eye and earshot of all of the children at the same time! Nice!

Hope
Sign the Door frame!
For a limited time, you get the chance to immortalize your name on the door frame at Book Rack Used Books and Gifts! Stacy didn't want to paint the door frame between the two store sections. Instead, she wanted her customers to be a part of the store forever! So, for a limited time you can stop by and sign the door frame with permanent paint marker. Before the grand re-opening, the frame and signatures will be sealed with polyurethane!
