Skidompha Book Shop extends Sunday hours
From now through Sunday, Dec. 19, Skidompha Secondhand Book Shop in downtown Damariscotta will be open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Sundays. Usual Sunday hours have been 10 to 2.
Normally, the shop is open on Sundays only during the summer. But, as Rosie Bensen, shop co-manager explained, “Thanks to some wonderful volunteers who like to work on Sundays, we’ve been able to extend our summer Sundays through the fall, and now we can extend the hours, too.”
She also noted that shop volunteers have assembled a wide selection of holiday books, both fiction and non-fiction, for adults and children, as well as CDs and movies.
The book shop is a major fundraiser for Skidompha Public Library, with all proceeds supporting the library’s programs and collections. All items in the shop are donated and all staff members are volunteers. Donations are accepted, five boxes or bags per person per visit, on Mondays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Tuesday through Saturday, 8 to 10 a.m.
