Stop the Pain 804 is a new film, youth anti-violence program, and community based services aggregator aimed to connect Richmond residents with the services and programs that work for them. The film will be premiering at the Byrd Theatre in Carytown Sept 8th at 7PM. The 2900 block of West Cary Street will be closed Sept 8th between South Sheppard Street and South Boulevard from 4:30 to 10 p.m for the premiere.

Good, Cheap Books !
A bibliophile is a person who loves to read or collect books. Some folks like to collect books that are rare or unusual. There are people who specialize in those sorts of things but I just love to read and be surrounded by books. Hardcovers, no covers, paperbacks, or great tomes. I’m VERY fond of field guides and reference books and my junk food reading is anything sci-fi or fantasy. I even like the bad stuff. When I think about things I’d like to do to improve our home, the first thing that always to comes to mind is: build more book shelves.
I consider purgatory to be the space between books. Thankfully that is a rare occurrence. When it DOES happen, life feels slightly off. I know I’m not the only one like this; after tureall, we have our own name.
So, if you are even remotely interested in buying books cheap, check out the Spring Book Sale at the Main Library. Here’s what you need to know.
Happy Reading!
