At Skidompha Book Shop in downtown Damariscotta, hot cider, doughnuts, coffee, the warm fireplace, and a half-price sale on everything in the store will welcome Early Bird shoppers, starting at 6 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3.

According to Rosie Bensen, co-manager, “We currently have plenty of great books in all categories, for children and adults. Customers can get a good start on their holiday shopping while they enjoy a visit to our cozy shop on the river.”

Besides thousands of books, the shop offers movies on DVD and VCR, music CDs, audio books, and puzzles.

The book shop is a major contributor to Skidompha Public Library. All items are donated, all staff members are volunteers, and all proceeds support the library’s programs and collections. Donations are accepted whenever the shop is open.

Current hours are Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., open Thursdays until 6 p.m.
