Hey friends, it is graduation day in Oxford, and Gnash is here pricing books. Two of our booksellers, Syd and Kayden, graduated this week. They are off to graduate programs in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Hattiesburg; we will miss them but are excited to see them out in the world. Swing by in late May and June if you want to wish them well.

We also got word this morning that a longtime supporter of the bookstore, Cheryl Conlee, passed away this morning. Cheryl was always so encouraging about the bookstore and helped us so much when we first opened up. We will miss her terribly and send our condolences to her wife, family, and friends.

Escape the crazy of Oxford and come see us in the Valley today. We have great new books in the store and has a killer special. We would love to catch with you. We will be open until 4pm.

Friends from MUW came to see us today! We love our Columbus buddies.
