A Message to Our Valued Patrons
We want to inform you that our book distributor, Baker & Taylor has gone out of business. As a result, book orders and deliveries are currently delayed. We understand this may be disappointing and appreciate your patience during this transition.
Our team is actively working to secure a new distribution partner to resume normal service as soon as possible. In the meantime, we’ll do our best to meet your reading needs with the resources we have available.
