8 years ago today, we opened our doors for the first time! After months of buildout, ordering (and shelving!) inventory, and hiring, we took the paper off the windows and opened the doors. It was such a special day and we took photos! If you stop by today, please wish a happy birthday!

Some reasons why the Belmont Books One Stop Crawl is the best idea for Indie Bookstore Day 2025?
- one stop reduces fatigue and car sickness
- Greenest bookstore crawl because no driving between stores
- Ecofriendly because you only need a paper bag from only one store (or get your IBD tote here!)
- one stop reduces fatigue and car sickness

Tomorrow kicks off the Trans Rights Readathon and we’re donating $10 for every book our booksellers and baristas read during the readathon. Our record is 44…can we beat it? (We bet we can!)
