Lido Village Books' March Newsletter
V7 - Turning of the clocks is like turning of the page...both bring more sun into your life
Dear Lido,
I know we are already a week into the month & I am sorry this newsletter is hitting your emails later than usual. But wowzers are the days flying by and the work keeps piling up, anyone else feeling it?
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the American Booksellers Association Winter Institute during the end of February. It was a week of classes, author connections, LOTS of Arcs (we have an idea for a new ARC program for you…what? Yup, Free Books!), meeting & hearing the trials, tribulations & exaltations of Booksellers & Bookstore Owners from across our Nation. Of course I got excited about so many opportunities that others are doing and we could do here at Lido…but I got to thinking… We’ve tried several different “programs” over the last few years and some are still thriving today (shout out to our Breaking Boundaries BookClub!) and others have slowly trickled to nothingness. Then, I started thinking about you! and wondered: “What do you want to be a part of?”
So, I decided to put a community survey together and then to send it your way.
Will you take a moment to help us gather information and give us your thoughts? Your answers will help guide us as we continue to offer the best programming and event opportunities we can. It is completely confidential and will only take 5-10 minutes to complete.
*Note: The survey is completely confidential and will only take 5-10 minutes to complete. We need your opinions regardless of how often you visit the bookstore or how strongly you feel about the store. Just by giving us your honest opinions, you will be doing us and many book readers like yourself a big favor. Please help us by completing Lido Village Books’ 2025 Community Survey of Customers HERE. We need your reply by 03/30/25 to include you in our results. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in our ongoing efforts to provide the highest quality bookstore experience.
As a token of our appreciation for helping us, bring in a screenshot of your Submittal to receive 10% off your entire purchase. Hurry…all survey’s must be completed by March 30th, 2025.
