Last week, the construction workers at the Flagstaff store site started sheetrocking. Right now, it appears that the rebuild is on schedule. One can see the back room, the stairs to the offices, the sheet rocked walls, the big built-in light fixture over the new trade counter – it's all very exciting.

There's also great progress being made at the warehouse, where Flagstaff employees are rapidly filling the new orange book shelves. They expect to receive the music and electronics display cases soon, since the plan is to have all the merchandise and shelves prepared to move right into the store when the building is ready. The other Bookmans stores are also setting aside some of their merchandise for the new Flagstaff store in order to be sure the Flag store contains all the quality product our costumers have come to expect.

As you may have heard, Bookmans Flagstaff has ended their outdoor buy and sell events to focus 100% on the store rebuild, but you can still find them out in the community. Just next week, you can find them at a screening of Clockwork Orange at the Orpheum Tuesday September 28th at 8pm, a Banned Book Story Time at the downtown public library Friday October 1st at 10:30am, and a screening of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (plus a creepy craft!) at the Orpheum Theater beginning at 1pm Saturday October 2nd.
