It is with heavy hearts that we come together as a community to mourn the loss of Sabrina Walker-Hernandez. We extend our deepest condolences to the Walker-Hernandez family during this time.
We have lost a beautiful soul who was always eager to give back to the community. Sabrina was passionate about helping others grow and strongly believed in the potential of every individual.
As a community leader, she was admired and cherished by many, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. But beyond her role, her presence alone would light up any room, as she was the kind of person who needed no introduction.
We are profoundly grateful to have had such a guiding light among us, and we hope her spirit and legacy continue to inspire all the lives she touched.
With heartfelt condolences,
Your friends at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce

Hey Bookworms!
A few years ago, a thoughtful friend and fellow book lover, @momma_doc_reads , gifted our bookstore with a mini library.
A bus stop in front of our store runs daily, and I notice families with children waiting on the sidewalk. What catches my attention, though, are children with wandering eyes examining our windows, eager to enter and although
I have welcomed them in, sometimes they donโt.
Which means we have decided on the perfect spot to set up our mini free library!
Come celebrate with us this Saturday June 12th from 12:00-6:00 PM. ๐
If you wish to donate childrenโs books periodically to replenish our library or drop them off in our store thank you in advance!
Community first! โค๏ธ
Always grateful for you,
Marty

It is with heavy hearts that we come together as a community to mourn the loss of Sabrina Walker-Hernandez. We extend our deepest condolences to the Walker-Hernandez family during this time. We have lost a beautiful soul who was always eager to give back to the community. Sabrina was passionate about helping others grow and strongly believed in the potential of every individual. As a community leader, she was admired and cherished by many, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. But beyond her role, her presence alone would light up any room, as she was the kind of person who needed no introduction. We are profoundly grateful to have had such a guiding light among us, and we hope her spirit and legacy continue to inspire all the lives she touched. With heartfelt condolences, Your friends at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce

J'aime Les Livres
Hey Bookworms! A few years ago, a thoughtful friend and fellow book lover, @momma_doc_reads , gifted our bookstore with a mini library. A bus stop in front of our store runs daily, and I notice families with children waiting on the sidewalk. What catches my attention, though, are children with wandering eyes examining our windows, eager to enter and although I have welcomed them in, sometimes they donโt. Which means we have decided on the perfect spot to set up our mini free library! Come celebrate with us this Saturday June 12th from 12:00-6:00 PM. ๐ If you wish to donate childrenโs books periodically to replenish our library or drop them off in our store thank you in advance!
