The Friends of Redmond Oregon [FORO] which operates the non-profit Friends Bookshop in the Redmond Bazaar is closing its bookshop on March 20, 2021. The Friends originally ran the Friends Bookshop in the Redmond Public Library for over twenty-five years. In February 2020, they moved into the Redmond Bazaar just as the Covid-19 pandemic exploded in the United States. 

At the end of February 2021, the Bookshop was notified that Redmond Bazaar would not be renewing their vendor contract. 

Therefore, Friends Bookshop will be having a HALF OFF sale from March 9th – 19th to liquidate inventory.  All books, books on tape, CD’s, DVD’s and Art Prints will be on Sale.  Everything must go including all fixtures, furniture and shelving!  Bookshop hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00PM

Although the closure of the bookshop will significantly impact the amount of funds available, FORO is determined to continue making these donations.  The public is always welcome to make cash donation through PayPal at FORO’s website: www.friendsofredmondoregon.org
