One of the first things I did when we decided to move to northeast Ohio was to look up the bookstores in the area. Imagine my pleasure when I found out there was a used bookstore a mile or two down the road from me. I did not wait very long to visit it. The Book Shelf is staffed by volunteers and the proceeds are used to support adult literacy in the county. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by one of the older ladies staffing the store that day. She was extremely friendly and gave me a tour of the little store and talked a bit about the literacy program they support. Project: LEARN of Medina County provides tutoring and literacy support to adults who need assistance with English, math, English as a Second Language, or GED preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ladies were so friendly I knew I couldn’t leave without buying something. Besides, who wouldn’t want to do a little to support adult literacy? And if I can do that by buying a book or two then I am all for it. The shop is stocked with donated books so you never know what you are going to find. While I was in there another little old lady came in to donate some books and they all had a comfortable conversation about a common friend, church, and the joys of a good coupon for Taco Bell. The ladies were taking a deep personal interest in my book browsing so I was very thankful when I found a couple of books I wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prices were extremely reasonable and they give you a card that they stamp every time you buy a book. After ten stamps you get a free book. Who isn’t going to love that? The ladies told me there are two more Project: LEARN bookshops in the county and I fully intend to visit both of them as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
