Thank you all so much—we've successfully raised the $15k needed to fund our move! We're raising our goal to $20k to look to saving for some longer-term improvements to the new space.
Also, our last day at the old storefront will be 10/24, with our new location opening 10/31! 🎃

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Helping with this volunteer-run bookstore has made me lifelong friendships, connected me with multiple intersecting communities within and without the Twin Cities, and scored reporting tips.
