One of my favorite recent children’s books is called Once Upon a Time, The End.  In the story, a familiar fairy tale is compressed into just a few paragraphs or verses, given a humorous twist, and ends abruptly with The End.  I’m having a hard time with the humorous twist, but in other ways I can see the Story of Blue Elephant Book Shop.  This past Thursday, March 8, marked the fourth anniversary of our opening; Sunday week, March 18, will be our final day.  My fairy tale has been compressed in those four years.  Not what I envisioned when I started out, certainly, but that’s the way it happens sometimes when fairy tale meets real life.

“The End” for us means that we need to empty this space--books, bookshelves, furniture, and so forth, down to the coffee maker and trashcans.  Someone said to me this week that she felt like a vulture, but I look at it more like a Humane Society Adoption event.  I would love for everything in here to find a good home.  Some of the furniture has already been sold, but there are still pieces available and lots of bookshelves.  Please don’t feel self-conscious about inquiring; you’re doing us a service.

For the next week, we’re still here, still have books, and still love to talk about them.

Thank you, Blue Elephant
