It’s a rainy, stormy day today, fitting for the aftermath of tragedy. We will be open today (at least until 4:00pm!), standing in solidarity with our community. We are brainstorming how to help our fellow bookstore owners. Look to updates. Thank you for having us as a part of your community, and we believe in the strength of books and people to persist.

Here is a link to the Northtown Books fundraiser: https://giveahand.com/fundraiser/northtown-book-fire

When we have more updates we will post them!

Best wishes.
