Talking Leaves Books – 15% off of books in the local, environmental and activism sections + any book on cycling
If you haven’t given yourself the treat of meandering through a good local bookstore lately, today is definitely the day to head over to Talking Leaves Books on Elmwood or in University Heights. In the age of digital media we sometimes forget the pleasure of browsing the shelves and discovering our next adventure in print. Both shops offer an amazing selection of books on a multitude of topics. And nestled between shelves you’ll find comfortable chairs to acquaint yourself with the book you’ll be talking about for the next three months.
At his previous job, one of our staff bought a copy of “The Light in the Attic” by Shel Silverstein at Talking Leaves while working with a youth summer program. The kids liked it so much that he went back to discover another gem with help from a super knowledgeable staff member. The book was a collection of short-stories for storytelling and it quickly became a favorite activity with the kids he taught that summer. There is something very exciting about having children beg you to read to them and we all have Talking Leaves to thank for helping create these experiences.
So go on a book adventure! Bring the whole family! Comb through the shelves and discover a book with the magic of happenstance, rather than the calculations of a search engine algorithm. And if you ride your bikes and wear your Bicycle Benefit stickered helmets, you’ll get to enjoy a discount of 15% off of the local, environmental and activism sections, plus any book on cycling that falls outside of those sections!
