The wonderful chaos of Independent Bookstore Day is finally (sadly!) over so now it’s time to settle in for the merry month of May. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening this month at Griffeys’ Book Emporium:

What’s New in Store

-Card restock from Gem Garden Arts! Wonderful local artist and designer Stephanie of Gem Garden Arts recently dropped off a restock of greeting cards here at the store. Each card features Stephanie’s art, including photography, watercolor, acrylics, and more. Cards are just $4.50 and support not one but two Delaware-local businesses (Griffeys’ and Gem Garden!)

-Big comic and graphic novel restock! We have tons of fresh used comics and graphic novels in the shop, including Marvel, DC, a smattering of manga, and more. Stop in soon to see what’s new and grab them before they’re gone!
