Stop in the shop to select a card off the holiday book drive tree\; each card features information about a child served by the Family Development Program of the Family Center of Durango. Booksellers are happy to provide guidance and suggestions for gifts for that particular child\, and Maria's Bookshop will offer a 15% discount on all book drive purchases. The books will be wrapped and presented to the children at their annual holiday party on December 16th.
We're hoping to provide books for 75 children this year\, thanks to the generous support of our community!

It's an anti-contest writing contest\, where the judges are missing\, the prizes are lousy\, and writers and non-writers alike have the time of their lives bashing out surprisingly unhorrible books in an absurdly short amount of time.
Maria's Bookshop will host the "\;Thank God It's Over (TGIO) Celebration"\; for our region. Other local NaNoWriMo events will take place throughout the month\, providing support and inspiration for those involved.
