Still shopping? We're still here! With Parking!

Just a reminder to all you Sam Wellers customers that we're still here at 254 S. Main Street. We're stocked from basement to mezzanine (and beyond!) with great books, and eager to sell them to you. This has been one of the strongest publishing seasons in memory. There's something here for you or the lucky recipients on your giving list whether you're looking for fiction that's literary or egdy, non-fiction that's serious or humorous, funky sidelines, or exquisite rare books. Oh there are so many wonderful books!

We're also very happy to announce there is once again parking behind Sam Wellers Bookstore. The parking structure for the 222 S. Main building is now open for hourly parking. It can be accessed by via either 200 S. or 300 S., just west of Main Street. Simply enter the structure, choose a ticket for "Metered Parking" and then follow the signage to the "Metered Parking" areas. Then walk out the 300 S. entrance and into the back door of Sam Wellers.

The 100 stalls in the "Metered Parking" part of the structure will charge Salt Lake City parking meter rates for the first hour. After that market rates apply. The system is entirely automated so there is no attendant on duty. Payment is made in at an exit kiosk. Be forewarned, they do not take cash: you must pay with a debit or credit card. Also, we do not have validations at this point. But we are delighted to see an additional parking option for our customers. While the City parking meters are free for the holiday season, that doesn't apply to the metered stalls inside the parking structure.

Remember, books are some of the finest gifts you can give a person. Through them a reader can travel to other times and other worlds, learn from some of the greatest minds humanity has to offer, and dream of larger horizons and better times.
