In addition to these whimisical ice scultpures on display outside the Community Bookstore on Park Slope’s Seventh Avenue last weekend, the shop introduced a new online book site.  Wanting to shop local, we tried out their online book ordering service and not only found all of the books on our holiday gift list but also found a few for the hard to please on our list using their holiday book selection section. Also, for those who are interested in supporting local businesses, tonight is the second Park Slope Snowflake, with busineses staying open late and offering specials. It may also be the first such even when it doesn’t rain!!!
