Dear bookshop friends,

As weekly downtown events continue and the heat ramps up, we’ve made the decision to close at 4p on Thursdays until further notice. After a few years of extended hours, we’ve found this schedule works best for our shop during this season.

Thank you, as always, for supporting your local bookshop.
See you soon!
