Barnes & Noble & HARES celebrate the arts and reading in Cary!

Mark your calendars now to joins us in celebration of the arts and reading at Barnes & Noble in Cary: November 9, 2012. The book fair will be open daily during regular business hours nation-wide. Events are planned, starting at 6:00 PM. The proceeds from this event will directly benefit various arts programs at HARES.

Herbert Akins will receive a percentage of in-store sales from customers who reference our book fair ID number: 10855484. This includes books, Nooks and accessories (great for Christmas and other holiday presents), music, videos, toys, magazines, cafe’ gift and consumable items, and all other merchandise except the purchase of ebooks, digital content, downloadable audiobooks, gift cards, text books, magazine subscriptions and items at cafes owned by Starbucks (the Starbucks cafe’ at the Cary location is company owned, so the items purchased there will be included in our sales). On-line purchases are included in the book fair! Online purchases can be made November 9-14. Our book fair is registered nationally, so friends and family can make purchases in their local Barnes & Noble on November 9 and still benefit Herbert Akins!

Several events will be planned to celebrate that night. Artwork will be displayed (and we have a bunch of fantastic artists), as well as a scavenger hunt, storytime (with some surprise readers…hmmmmm), Curious George will be there, and the student choir will be performing!

Check out Barnes & Noble on the 9th for Fifth Grade Pride wish list items!
