Sabbatical may feel far removed from a world enveloped by the constant and immediate needs of family life. How could you uniquely re-envision sabbatical for your own life for when the time is right?

April Barker’s Living Book Store

There will be a plethora of used, beautiful and amazing living books for sale all weekend. Come prepared to shop if you are in the market for books. Cash or check will be the easiest for a weekend without the internet.
