Every bookstore needs a mascot, right? What should we name this little creature? #suggestionswelcome

We've started a new read-aloud series on TikTok (and YouTube)! #readaloud #thewindinthewillows #storytime

This campaign isn’t just about dollars; it's about community. 💫 Every small gift + every share matters. Together, we’ll reach our first goal (and beyond)! 📖💜

Today's the big day! We're officially launching our crowdfunding campaign to bring a children's bookstore to Providence! Please click the link below and consider donating if you are in a position to do so. Sharing the campaign with the booklovers in your life is also tremendously helpful.

So proud of the coalition who worked on this bill.

"[E]ven if you think you’re in a “good,” “safe,” “blue” state when it comes to book censorship, you aren’t. You need to be [...] putting as much time and energy into protecting your public institutions of democracy as those in “bad,” “unsafe,” “red” states have been for the last half-decade."

I think that the laptop for our first point-of-sale station is finally appropriately festooned. Well, maybe there's a little more room...

Now is an awfully strange time to be opening up a bookshop.
Against the backdrop of rage and terror, I've been struck by a sense of futility regarding this project that now fills my days and has long filled my thoughts. This passage from Peter Miller's Shopkeeping has restored a bit of my resolve.

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.
