| Carson Pirie Scott Community Day
The economic recession has lingered longer than any of us had hoped, but you can do your part to jump start the economy by shopping at Carson Pirie Scott on Community Day, Saturday, February 28!
If you purchase a Community Day booklet for $5, you can take advantage of these spectacular deals: a coupon good for $10 off most purchases (and how great is that?! Your $5 gets you $10!), an Early Bird coupon for 30% off good from 7–10 am, six 20% off coupons good all day, and coupons good for deep discounts on outerwear, shoes, comforters, and children's clothing. And while you're being cost-conscious, Gerber/Hart keeps the entire $5 from each booklet we sell. It's win-win all around! Booklets are available now at Gerber/Hart.
African-American History Month
February is African-American History Month. We pay tribute to the rich literary heritage promulgated by African-American writers. Our display this month features books by Audre Lorde, Lorraine Hansberry, Max Smith, E. Lynn Harris, James Baldwin, and many others.
Book Sale News
Our mini-monthly book sale features books on African-American history and culture in celebration of African-American History Month.
