We almost forgot to tell you that Millie, our lovely giraffe who oversaw our children’s section, has a new home at Bucktown. In case your littles are missing us as much as we miss them, head on over to the library and tell Millie we say Hello!

I thought we were done with the water works this month (jk it’s still a daily thing), but this was less sad and more just beautiful appreciation tears. Thank you from and for this. Link in profile for those who want to read.

Next Saturday, February 21st, we’re opening our doors for one last clean out. We still have a ton of stuff. Books, cups, decor, retail displays, drawer organizers … you name it! Everything (except for furniture) will be under $5. We still have some larger pieces of furniture. We will be posting all week here on insta. Help us to spread the word!

Boxes of books going to  and a ton of local schools! Happy to have these books live on for readers of all ages!

With two days left we’ve been thinking a lot about the last ten (actually twelve from where we started putting things together) years, and we wanted to tell you all about how much Dr. George, our dad, was a part of this store. Thousands of Chicagoans know our dad as Dr. George, the dentist. He practiced downtown for over four decades. He is also incredibly handy. He helped us to build every inch of Volumes. He built the tables you all enjoyed your lattes on. He built the bookend lights that adorned our shelves. He put up signage. He made our menu. When Rebecca would get a wild idea about a fixture we could design - he made it. Not only is he the best, sweetest, and most supportive guy, but he has been woven into every inch of what we have built. So. We didn’t think we could end things without you all knowing how cool our dad is. He is not on social media, but he deserves some love spread wide regardless.

The good people of MN are fighting the good fight and we support them! Besides, it’s going to be dangerously cold tomorrow and you all should be at home reading or plotting and organizing. So, we will be back open for our last weekend regular hours Sat/Sun! We will be open a few days next week, weather and pickups dependent.
