Library bookstore Chapter 52 opening Sept. 12

Fond du Lac Public Library

It’s new, it’s fun and it’s the best bargain in town: Chapter 52, the Fond du Lac Public Library’s used-books-and-more store, will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, Sept. 12, in conjunction with Fondue Fest.

Chapter 52 is located next door to the downtown library at 52 Sheboygan St., on the corner of Marr and Sheboygan streets.

The store will celebrate its new home in grand style from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 12, with free giveaways (while supplies last); chances to win loaded gift basket door prizes; free samples of a new brew, Chapter 52 Blend by Sleepy Sailor Coffee; refreshments; and $2 gift certificates for every $10 spent.

The bookstore formerly was located in the library’s lower level, where it was called The BookCellar. Chapter 52 picks up where The BookCellar left off, with one big change: it’s now open three days a week. Hours are Mondays and Wednesdays noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We’re very excited to show off our new location,” said library Director Jon Mark Bolthouse. “We hope shoppers will find the new space inviting, and we think they’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover improvements throughout.”

Habitat for Humanity ReStore donated two shopping carts to Chapter 52 Bookstore, making the transport of books from the Main Library to the next-door shop much easier. Library staff Nancy Bilitz, left, and Sara Roltgen, were on hand to thank Habitat Executive Director Paul Osterholm, left, and ReStore Manager Keith Lee.

Chapter 52 is run primarily by volunteers, and all proceeds benefit library programming. The shop sells used books, movies, music and magazines for all ages at deep discounts. The shop also accepts donations of used materials in good condition. Donations should be labeled as such and can be dropped off at the Main Library’s checkout desk or in the drive-through book return bin.
