Pro-tip: you can and should read books by African American creators and about black history at any time during the year! From speculative fiction to sociology to music to biography, African American writers and artists have shaped much of the arts and culture represented in a bookstore. Come by and browse our selection - including titles for young readers! . . . #blackhistorymonth #indiebookstore #bookstore #windowdisplay #bookstagram #shoplocal

Some recent guest book highlights. Pretty sure the guy whose beard gets a shout-out is Kyle, as he has a stellar one. Thanks for visiting, everyone! 🌟🖋💛 #bookstore #indiebookstore #shoplocal #bookstagram #sofluffy #liminalspace

If only these red & green cuties had come in at Christmas time! Oh well, regardless of the season, we never have trouble selling treasures from the #LoebClassicalLibrary. 📕📗📕📗 A big batch just came in across the used book buying table - get them before they’re gone! #collectible #classics #classicalphilosophy #classicalhistory #shoplocal #bookstores #indiebookstore #usedbooks #bookstagram #redandgreen

Tonight, novelist James Anderson O'Neal kicked off our 2019 with help from his grandfather's WWI dagger! (Don't worry, it was a reading-related weapon.) #RileyandtheRoaringTwenties #novelist #localauthor

Happy New Year! Anyone attempting #dryjanuary? Or perhaps interested in making some changes in your life beyond this month? Either way, here’s 2 new titles and 3 old ones to inspire you! SOBER CURIOUS and THE ALCOHOL EXPERIMENT delve into the effects of alcohol on the body, and strategies to be less dependent on it socially and physically. And we have 3 little “temperance songbooks” — these short tunes were rally and protest songs, used by the American temperance/prohibition movement in the early 20th century. Including hits such as “Teetotal Chorus,” “Away! Away! the Sparkling Wine,” “Only a Glass,” and “Perishing! Perishing!” Yep, they’re wildly entertaining. Whether or not you’re planning on a dry January, these are fascinating slices of history! What are your resolutions for 2019? . . . #newyear #newyearsresolution #happynewyear #bookstagram #bookstore #indiebookstore #shoplocal

Are you in panic-mode realizing it’s December 21 and there are still people on your list who need gifts? Stumped for stocking stuffers? We have bookish accessories, locally-made cards, and more! . . . #lastminutegifts #12giftideas #holidays #cards #bookstagram #indiebookstore #bookstore #shoplocal #shopsmall
