Today was amazing! Our first year participating in the The Philly Bookstore Crawl and we had an absolute blast. We met book groups who had specific routes planned, friends who wanted to come support, and people who came in and were pleasantly surprised by our clearance table! A special thank you to Eric Smith for working so hard to organize the crawl. We can’t wait for next year!

Last night’s Book Swap Party was awesome! Everyone was able to go home with great new reads and got to bring some books they loved, but were ready to share with someone else. We can’t wait to host another one!
