Our commitment to the community and local artists, involvement with schools, book clubs and non-profits…and fund-raisers from all over Weld County…THAT is why our little bookshop and our customers make such a unique and perfect “fit”! We thank you, each and every month for YOUR support. And…we love it when you bring children, relatives…and dogs to spend time among the shelves!!
We had a fun book-signing event with Dr. Grace Napier over a year ago, when she discussed her book, “Unshackled.” Now, Grace returns, with her latest book…all about her beloved dogs…titled: My Girls.
September 13, a combined signing with Mark Anderson, UNC reference librarian and Jay Trask, head of archival services for their book about the University of Northern Colorado, The Campus History Series, published by Arcadia Press.
Also, on the evening of September 13…
Remember…a fun group of ladies meet every Monday, from 4:00PM until 6:00PM in the back of our cozy store. Tea is provided… and we would love to help someone begin… or learn from the many “masters” who live in our surrounding area!
Thanks to our wonderful, resident…”master knitter” we are continuing our “open knitting” on Mondays, from 4:00PM until 6:00PM. Helene Rassmussen is always with us and she so willingly shares her expertise, patterns and friendship.
Whether you are also a “master” or just starting…(yes, we do have extra yarn and needles), please feel free to stop by. Complimentary refreshments served!
Reserve your chair and book now!
This will be Sandra’s third visit to An Open Book
and, spaces fill-up quickly!!
WHITER THAN SNOW, by Sandra Dallas
From the best-selling author of Prayers for Sale comes the story of devastating avalanche that traps nine children walking home from school in 1920, and the life-changing effects the disaster has on the people who live in the small Colorado town where it occurs.

We are still working out the final details of Greg’s visit to Greeley on February 10…it is so exciting!
His day will be busy, and his message will reach many. Here are the details so far:
Breakfast at An Open Book: I think that we will have two events, each 30 minutes in duration…tea, coffee, pastries with Greg, starting at 8:00AM (that time may change.) This will be an event only for my loyal customers. The $50 charge will go completely to Greg’s institute. I am planning on opening my door on January 9, 2010…at 9:00AM, with the first 80 people receiving tickets. (40 attendees for each 30 minute breakfast on Feb. 10th) Buying for others is ok, provided their names are in my customer loyalty program.
Later that morning, Greg will visit Eaton High School, and also have a small group meeting with students from the middle school.
A VIP Luncheon is being planned for members/faculty of UNC, AIMS, High Plains Library District and District Six.
Then… the BIG EVENT… at Butler Hancock in the late afternoon, free of charge, UNC students and general public.
Keep and eye on my newsletters/website, as well as our local newspaper as plans become finalized.
