The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!
Boneshaker Books is moving! Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, we’ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues. We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul. How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory. Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st. Donate and find out more about the move (and the cool perks you can get for donating!) via the QR code or URL below. Thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive! bit.ly/boneshakermove

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! 🎃

THANK YOU! Wow!! Just two weeks after announcing Boneshaker’s plans to move, we are so thrilled and grateful that we’ve already reached our initial fundraising goal of $15,000! To anyone who has donated, shared our story and campaign, or stopped by the store: THANK YOU!! You are directly responsible for making this move a reality. With the move itself now fully funded, we’re increasing our goal to $20,000 so we can start working towards longer-term projects and goals in the new space. This additional $5,000 will support the ongoing stability of Boneshaker and help us save for larger-scale improvements to the space, including improving the accessibility of the bathroom and making the meeting and print spaces the best they can be. We’re keeping our fundraising page live until November 30 (which also means you have plenty of time to snag some cool limited-edition perks!) In the meantime, we’ll be busy packing up the store and getting to moving! Our last day in our Seward location will be October 24 with plans to reopen at 708 W. 26th St. on October 31! Thank you all for supporting Boneshaker! bit.ly/boneshakermove boneshakerbooks.com

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.

We're always on the lookout for new volunteers. Email us at volunteering at boneshakerbooks dot com!

Thanks for taking one. If any other MPLS folks out there missed this when it came out in 2017 (plus the expanded edition in 2020)- it’s a great example of narrative as part of the movement toolkit.
