During that week, the store will donate a portion of each sale to the NRHC project, if the consumer presents a Bookfair Voucher to cashiers at the time of purchase. Vouchers are available online at the National Ranching Heritage Center’a Web site — www.nrhc.ttu.edu/bnvoucher.pdf — and in hard copy at the NRHC, which is located at 3121 Fourth Street.

The Bookfair will help the National Ranching Heritage Center Children’s Library in several ways, according to Manager of Education Christy Lemons.

“First, a percentage of Bookfair sales will underwrite the children’s library,” she said. “Second, we will provide Barnes & Noble with a wish list of titles needed to enhance our children’s library collection. The list will be displayed at Barnes & Noble. Bookfair supporters may choose books from that wish list to purchase and donate to our Children’s Library. Just remember to bring your voucher when you shop.”

As a finale to the Bookfair, Ranch Hosts volunteers will present a story time at Barnes & Noble on Saturday, May 5, at 11 a.m. They will also teach children how to churn butter and make rope.

The National Ranching Heritage Center is a museum and historical park established to preserve the history of ranching and pioneer life in North America. Forty-five structures, including a depot, train, bunkhouse, one-room schoolhouse, dugouts, windmills and ranch homes, were relocated from ranches in the Southwest and restored to reflect life from 1780 through 1930. Each is furnished or outfitted. Exhibits, special events and educational programs with living history re-enactors are held throughout the year.
