FaceBook Us!

Ok, so we finally decided to join everyone in 2008 and we got a Facebook account (Myspace coming soon!) So we would love all of our friends, who come into our stores or have ever been in our stores, to Facebook us. Our page is not too fancy yet, but we call it home (in Facebook terms) either way if you have a Facebook page or would like to join just search for "Building19" and we will be happy to welcome you into our Facebook family.

Also we will give users on Facebook some sneak-peeks, so if you wanna be in the know that is the place to be.

Thanks for being so supportive and we hope to see you soon, either in store or on Facebook.

Thirteen stores in Three Days

I have just visited 13 of the 14 Building 19 stores in the last three days to judge the progress our store people have made on grouping the book department into fiction and non fiction categories. Just couldn't squeeze in the Lynn store on Tuesday - next week, Ron and Carolina, I promise!
This was a daunting task (those of you who shop our stores know what I mean!)!
I am so proud of the staff who really took on the challenge and created an inviting, easy to browse department. Some stores are so well organized it looks like a real book store. Some stores even have a Spanish book section!

Let me know what you think after your next trip into your favorite Building 19 store. Give them a pat on the back if you like what you find!
