We can't wait to raise a glass with everyone who has helped build this project the past 5 years. See you on the 15th! NO GODS, NO MASTERS, NO BOSSES!

Because of your support in book sales, we're able to remain fiercely independent and keep our space free for community organizing. We think THAT'S a BIG reason to celebrate!

This March, we're celebrating FIVE whole years as a worker-owned-and-operated bookstore, and we'd love to party with you! Join us on March 15th after 7 pm for a community hang with books, screenprinting, drinks, snacks and a whole lot of camaraderie.
