ATTENTION BOOK LOVERS: TEMPORARY INVENTORY FREEZE

Thanks to our amazing community, our shelves have officially hit 100% capacity! Because our shop has a cozy layout with zero backroom storage or extra space, we have run completely out of room to safely accept any new books.

Starting today, Tuesday, July 14, 2026, we are temporarily pausing all book trades.

We are launching a massive, multi-week shelf organization and clearance plan to open up the aisles and create some breathing room.
We expect this freeze to last for the next 4 weeks:

Can I still shop? YES! We are open regular hours and need your help clearing the shelves.

Stay tuned for some massive flash sales starting this week!

When can I bring books back?
We plan to reopen trades in mid-August.

We will post the exact date right here as soon as we have the space.
We appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support while we work through the stacks to keep our local shop clean, organized, and safe for everyone!
