Screen addiction is a real thing and I sure have it. Even as my daughters get older and more independent, I'm working to keep them off of screens most of the time. We are all in on the library summer reading program and they know the only screen I like saying yes to is for ebooks. Both of my daughters love books, and they just got rewarded for it on a routine visit to the vet! A love of reading can help with screen addiction, and bookstores are a great solution.
Until last week, I did not know there was a used bookstore in Chesterton, Indiana! I have yet to visit the bookstore O'Gara and Wilson, Booksellers, but my daughters and I are already raving fans. One of the owners Jill, stopped us at the veterinarian's office to compliment my daughter Portia who was reading a book. She said "I just love seeing children reading books, and I'd like to give you this card for $5.00 credit at our book store O'Gara and Wilson, Booksellers". We all smiled and said thank you, I took a picture of Portia reading for this post and we all departed. Portia knows mama is right when she says reading can help with screen addiction.

I love books and we go to a Valpo bookstore often for date night or with the kids. Jill's encouraging words and gift was such a delightful surprise. I loved the compliment paid to my daughter for reading. The coupon is is great perk, but also a savvy organic marketing tool...look how excited I am without ever having visited the shop! I cannot wait to get to this bookstore, and I hope all of you lovely readers will visit and tell them you are excited to support O'Gara and Wilson, Booksellers with your families!

I was so pleased to see your daughter reading and wanted to do something to encourage more of that behavior! You're obviously doing a great job as a mom, bringing up a new generation of book lovers :)
ReplyDelete$5 can go a long way at O'Gara & Wilson's. They typically have a paperback rack of books at very low prices. Most of those books are centered around kids helping encourage their reading without breaking your wallet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely shop with a great selection of books and the feeling when you are there is priceless! So many interesting things to catch the eye.
