✨️A little Piebrary makeover!✨️

Cameron went on a little side quest to design a brand-new Piebrary board, with plenty of help from our Piebrarians along the way. And yes, there are some tasty new additions to the menu!

Italian Sodas have officially joined the lineup, plus a few returning favorites we’re excited to have back. Come check out the new board and see what’s pouring! 📚☕️

A little poetry, conversation, and a whole lot of good company. 🌙

Last night, we welcomed Anne Meisenzahl to celebrate Under a Mournful Moon. Anne shared a few poems from the collection before sitting down with Mary Jane Ryals for a conversation about the book and what inspired it.

A big thank you to everyone who filled the store and made it such a lovely night.

Books are the best way to start a new school year. 📚🎒

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Let’s Read! back-to-school book drive a success! In partnership with the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office, we were proud to help provide first-grade students at Oak Ridge Elementary School with two new books and a backpack as they headed into the school year.

We’re always grateful for the chance to put books into the hands of young readers. Here’s to a great year of learning, growing, and reading!

We’re so excited to see Peter Heller’s The Dog Stars make its way to the big screen! 🎬📖

As we get ready for the film’s release, we’re looking back at a great conversation Peter had with Skip Horack and getting even more excited to see Dog Stars come to life.

Check out their conversation below, and if you haven’t read The Dog Stars yet, this might be the perfect excuse to pick it up. Either way, we’ll see you at the movies! 🎟️🍿

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Turns out Midtown Reader has fans of all kinds… even the feathered ones!

This flock was spotted making its way around the bookstore, and honestly, we can only assume they were here for a little browsing.

Whatever they were looking for, Midtown Reader is always happy to welcome another flock of readers! 📚👀

This Saturday, we’re sipping, swapping, and celebrating all things romance! 💖☕

Meet The Seven Strawberries of Evelyn Hugo, our sweet and chocolatey latte inspired by the ultimate chocolate-covered strawberry pairing.

And while you’re here, bring a romance novel to our Romance Book Swap! Trade a story you’ve read for a new one to add to your TBR. 📚💕

Books have long helped shape democracy, carrying ideas, stories, and voices that inspire conversation and understanding. 📚

Reading, discussing, and sharing literature remains one of our most powerful tools for connecting with one another. With this in mind, our Let's Read! initiative, in partnership with the Community Foundation of North Florida, will be gifting copies of Michael Fischer’s How Books Can Save Democracy!

Stop by to snag your copy while supplies last! We’ll also be hosting a special event around the book this fall, with more details to come. Stay tuned! 📖✨

You should never judge a book by its cover. Planners, though? Fair game. 📝💛

We just got a bunch of beautiful planners in stock, and they're ready for color-coded schedules, sticker-covered pages, and ambitious to-do lists you'll definitely complete (probably).

Find the one that's worthy of your bag before the new school year begins!
