As part of Friends General Conference’s on-going effort to maintain a vibrant full service bookstore for Friends, FGC and Pendle Hill are very happy to announce an experimental collaboration bringing QuakerBooks of FGC to Pendle Hill. For at least the next six months, QuakerBooks will operate from the site of the current Pendle Hill bookstore. Pendle Hill will now have over a thousand new titles to serve the 4,500 annual campus visitors. Likewise, FGC will be able to better serve Friends living in and visiting the Philadelphia region with a convenient walk-in bookstore, ample parking, and the beauty and serenity of the Pendle Hill campus. By having one bookstore serving our two institutions, we hope to offer a better and stronger service for everyone.
Our initial hours will be 9:30am-4:30pm, Thursday through Monday. These hours will also better serve Pendle Hill weekend workshop participants and Friends who work during the week. Customer service will be available during these new times as well. To reach QuakerBooks of FGC, use our same phone number: 800-966-4556 (toll free) or 215-561-1700, ext. 3012 (local). The QuakerBooks website will continue to be available 24/7 to serve your needs.
Please visit QuakerBooks of FGC on the Pendle Hill campus. We think you’ll love our selection of books, pamphlets, CDs, and tracts on a wide range of Quaker topics as well as books on general spirituality, activism, and for children. If you wish to renew your Pendle Hill Pamphlet subscription, please call Pendle Hill at 610-566-4507, ext. 124. You can order Pendle Hill pamphlets from both the Pendle Hill and QuakerBooks websites.
QuakerBooks looks forward to seeing you on the Pendle Hill campus!
Sincerely,
Barry Crossno, General Secretary
Friends General Conference
Update: 05/09/15
On Saturday, May 9th, we welcomed members of the community and Friends from the Greater Philadelphia area. We also unveiled a new store sign with our new slogan:
QuakerBooks ~ A Bookstore for the Spiritually Curious
We are so grateful to Friends who have supported the work of QuakerBooks in the past, and we were delighted to meet new Friends and customers. We hope to have another event for Quakers, book lovers, and members of the community sometime soon!
