About Us (Okay...About Me)
Elaine Hopper, Owner. I'm a proud math nerd (Go CU Knights!), bookworm, and all-around dork. I have worked for many years (I'm not saying how many) in educational administration. I still do consulting work for school district telecommunications funding. Now, as the owner of Marble City Books, I am a member of the American Booksellers Association and the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Associations.
In my spare time outside of work and home, I am the Registrar for the Swe-kat-si Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Editor for the Ostrander Family Association Journal, and the Secretary for the Council of Stewards at Gouverneur's First United Methodist Church.
I'm the wife of Al and mom to Josh, Emmy, and Madison. When my children were little, I loved reading books to them by Eric Carle and Sandra Boynton. My favorite book for many years has been Little Women. I also love reading magazines. My favorite magazine is Country Living. I've been reading it for decades (again...I'm not saying how many). I also enjoy crocheting, especially while my husband Al is watching football.
Many of the used books I have for sale were donated to me. I pay forward that cycle of giving by donating 10% of the profits from these books to charity. Check out our monthly newsletter to see which charities we have made donations to. If you would like to donate books to Marble City Books, just shoot me an email and we will figure out the deets.
My hope is that you will enjoy the information shared on this website and in our newsletter, and you will purchase your new and used books here. Why give Jeffy any more money when you buy books? Doesn't he have enough rockets?
If you have any suggestions, recommendations, requests, complaints, etc. please send me an email. My promise is to offer customers quality books, products, and customer service.
