Righton Books

Wishing a very happy Father’s Day to our unofficial Righton Books “shop dad,”
Jim Barger Jr — and to all of the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who share their love of reading with the next generation. Whether you’re making a unique voice for each character in a bedtime story, sharing time on the couch with a child and his stack of library books, or listening intently to a detailed description of the latest YA plot line, we salute all of the fathers and hope you have a wonderful day!

In celebration of Juneteenth, we are proud to support community events hosted by our local nonprofits. We also are humbled by the enthusiasm our customers have shown for the book titles featured in our Juneteenth display, which we’ve had to replenish multiple times! We have a few more titles left — and we will continue to re-order and keep the shelves stocked with books that elaborate on this central moment in our nation’s history.

Summer story time for children is back at Righton Books! Join us at 11am on Thursday, June 18th, for ocean-themed stories and activities with Polly Kennerly!

We loved receiving this email and photo in response to our June newsletter: “Sorry I can’t join you for the events. I’m in Nepal this week but representing Righton.”
