Our social media has been a little quiet this week, and for that we apologize.

We are building an entirely NEW menu with brand new things we hope to debut next week at Meet Me On Market🎉

We also got a few hundred books this week in that we are currently sorting, as well as getting Book Fair information together.

Consider stopping and seeing us this week and some of our new books we are putting out. And Saturday you can find us Parkersburg Pride. We will have information about some of our events and some of our favorite books.

Hiii this post is because I love you all.

Story time.
Nicole has been with us for a few months now helping out so we decided to make it official. Today was her first day on the first chapter team payroll.

Today my heart also decided to 💩 itself.

So imagine Nicole running the whole bookstore on 14 minutes of register training while I’m quite literally having a heart attack next door lol.

Anyways. Nicole did amazing. And MANY of you texted me today and called and checked on me.
And we’ve moved a few times before in 3 different states.
And you can say what you want about Parkersburg, but I have made it home here. All of my favorite besties I’ve made since opening first chapter blew my phone up today in the best way.

Love you all. You can’t get rid of me yet❤️‍🩹🤪

SEE YOU SOON💗💗💗
