Dear Homeschoolers and other bookish friends,

The BooksBloom seminar and book sale in Friendswood, TX is coming up soon. This literature-rich seminar and book sale is less than two weeks away. You need to pay your pre-registration fee of $20.00 per family by July 15th in order to be pre-registered for the seminar.

WHAT IS A BOOKSBLOOM SEMINAR?
A BooksBloom seminar is an opportunity for booklovers to gather for a informal time with Gary and Jan Bloom and their wonderful books. The Blooms’ mini-bookstore of over 4,000 carefully selected used and vintage books will be also available for you to browse and purchase books.

At a BooksBloom Seminar you will receive:

• Winning arguments that flaunt the modern ideology which esteems only electronic media.

• Affirmation for your own love of books through interaction with other bibliophiles.

• Instruction on how to develop your own cost-saving resources for procuring good books

• Encouragement to cultivate a dynamic home library that meets the needs of your family.

For excellent teaching and encouragement in your literature-rich homeschool journey, plan to attend the BooksBloom seminar at Trinity Fellowship in Friendswood, Monday evening and Tuesday, July 18-19. The cost per family is only $20.00, if you pre-register before the seminar starts. And you get $15 back in store credit when you buy at least $50 worth of books from the Blooms’ excellent bookstore. If 25 or more families pre-register: everyone pre-registering gets a 25% discount on their purchase IN ADDITION to the $15 credit.

The BooksBloom Seminar in Friendswood, TX is sponsored by Meriadoc Homeschool Library. For more information or to pre-register, email me or leave a comment.
