When we moved into our current location just over two years ago, we couldn't imagine filling all the shelves. We made a design choice to section off half of the east side for storage "behind the curtain." If you've been to the store recently, you probably noticed the shelves over there were a little full. Well, we are happy to say the time has come to say goodbye to the storage area and add more shelves! We got the shelves in place over the weekend and are in the process of moving books to their new locations. We are OPEN, but ask you to excuse our mess and temporary disorganization. We are working hard to make the shop beautiful again! Many thanks to our employees for such hard work behind the scenes to pull this off!

The event features a reading, an opportunity to meet the author and a question-and-answer session. Signed book copies also will be available to buy.

Need a little moral support to get stuff on your list done?

Or are you beyond the list and in total doom pile territory?

We get it.

Join us for our first "Admin Hour" Wednesday from 5:30-6:30pm. Bring your stuff. We will provide the tunes and some non-alcoholic beverage options.

No fee to attend, but please email (hello at trueleavesbooks dot com) to RSVP so we have enough chairs!
