The Big Announcement

Dear customers and friends,

We are both excited and a bit sad to announce that we will be selling The Read Leaf Bookstore this coming August. What an amazing adventure it has been!

While we will truly miss being a part of the community in such a unique way, we are pleased to be putting The Read Leaf in the capable and fun-loving hands of Jimmy and Ruth Morrison, the owners of My Fun Family [a toy store across the street from The Read Leaf]. We are anticipating great things as the two stores come together and reopen as Funfinity at The Read Leaf location.

Here are a few important things we hope you’ll keep in mind as we make this transition:

  • Springville won’t be losing a bookstore (in fact, we can’t imagine living in a town without a bookstore!). Funfinity will continue to have great children and young adult sections, along with select titles for grown-ups. And they will continue to be able to order in pretty much any book you’ll want at no extra charge.
  • We’ve got a great plan in place to minimize any interruption in service. We will try our best to keep The Read Leaf open right up until Funfinity opens its doors. But if you happen to see the store closed on a regular business day, don’t panic—it won’t be for long! Also, Funfinity will continue to accept Read Leaf gift cards. So you can continue to shop and place orders with confidence.
  • Over the next two months, The Read Leaf will have fabulous clearance prices on many of our books. Watch for more details, or better yet, stop by often to check out the great deals!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and for your friendship over the past seven years. We’ve loved it!
