Read a banned book. Because when a book is banned, it reveals more about the minds of the people who banned it than about the book itself. Thanks to The Book Haus for the words.

Thanks to the authors of these books and so many more for writing the stories we need to keep learning about others and ourselves.

Feeling blue? You probably need a book. We’re here today from 10am-6pm.

Do you think Jeff would walk around a warehouse taking pictures of book covers to make into some cool collage art for you? Probably not. But we will! We also don't force people to work in inhumane conditions, build data centers, or promote unsustainable consumerism at any cost.

Instead of participating in the big Amaz*n sale happening this week, consider getting what you need from a small, local business. Your community thanks you 💛

It's banned books week, and we stand with all the libraries and schools fighting these bans to keep books on shelves.

In 2025, the American Library Association documented nearly 500 attempts to censor more than 4,200 individual books across the country. The top reasons for censorship included "false claims of illegal obscenity for minors; inclusion of LGBTQIA+ representation; covering topics of race, racism, social justice, and diversity; and presenting political or religious views with which the challengers disagreed." It boils down to a few people trying to control which books the public can access.

The ALA puts it best: "Books are for everyone. Books should be read. Books should be uncensored. Let Books Be!"
