When I first started ordering these books, I had to read everything that came in. The section has become something her customers count on. While the club regularly has 10 to 15 people at its meetings, the mailing list for the newsletter is much bigger. To celebrate the book club's second anniversary last February, the store held a fundraiser book fair, with 20 percent of a whole weekend's sales going toward the creation of college scholarships for four graduating high school seniors. The winners were chosen on the basis of essays about their favorite books and about how the books have impacted their lives.
