Delivery available!

Have you seen our winter catalog? Recommended titles from independent booksellers…perfect choices for your favorite book lovers!

Mary Behling is a Greeley artist who spent many years teaching physical education at Colorado State College (now the University of Northern Colorado), and the University of Oklahoma.

Currently, Mary is offering a 40% discount through December 31.

Best wishes from all of us an An Open Book LLC. We hope that you have time to be with family, friends, and even your pets! Time to just relax, walk, enjoy our mountains, and read a great book.

The steering committee and I are very excited to announce the formation of HIGH PLAINS BUSINESS ALLIANCE (HPBA). We will be inviting the community of locally owned, INDEPENDENT businesses and supporters to a kick-off celebration in early spring. Our focus group has met, and we are excited about the future of “indies” in Greeley and the surrounding communities.

If unable to buy at an “indie”, then please support your LOCAL BUSINESS… and not a dot.com entity!

* Buy with a local business ~ and we will all thrive.
* Prevent the displacement of local businesses ~ and we will all thrive
* Support and develop our community ~ and we will all thrive.

GREELEY REWARDS is a great place to search a local business who will continue to thrive with your support. Check out their website for great savings and coupons from local businesses… and look for High Plain Business Alliance in 2009!
