We are thrilled to announce that Elna has been selected as one of the 2024 James Patterson Bookstore Bonus recipients!

This bonus recognizes the hard work of booksellers nationwide! Elna chose to use this bonus to help fund our book drive for a local Title I school (the deadline to reach our goal is today)! As a former teacher, she knew she wanted to give back to her local community and share the joy of reading with others.

Join us in congratulating and thanking Elna for her infectious generosity! If you'd like to fund books for our book drive, click the link in our bio.

Don't forget to check out Patterson’s new book, The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians.
