Our Mission:

Cultivating community by bringing people of all ages together with books and authors who educate, inspire, challenge, and entertain.

What We Do:

• Independent Bookstore with a Mission ? Our shelves reflect diverse voices, ensuring that everyone can see themselves in books.
• 100+ Free Events Each Year ? Including storytimes, book clubs, author talks, writing workshops, and more.
• Book with Purpose ? A summer initiative addressing systemic inequalities through book donations and educational programs.
• Authors in Schools ? Bringing authors and illustrators to local schools at no cost, providing books and inspiration to tens of thousands of students annually.
• Field Trips for Students ? Kids visit our bookstore, participate in fun activities, and choose three books to take home. Schools receive transportation support and a $500 book credit to enhance their libraries.
• Annual Book Festival ? Hosting some of the most influential voices in literature, including Stacey Abrams, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, Nic Stone, Anne Lamott, Erik Larson, Chris Paul, and Henry Winkler.
