New sign!

Since we opened, over 4 years ago, every so often, we had someone coming in with “Oh, I didn’t know you were a bookstore”!

Well, it took a while but we finally have a sign!

Thanks to one of our fabulous supporters who made us a programmable sign and my kiddo who put it up for me!

Incidentally, kids in our weekly will be learning to build something like this as well! Have a child who’d enjoy that? Message us for details!
