Our friends at (right down the street from us on College Ave in Oakland) recently experienced a devastating fire. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, but their store was destroyed. It’s heartbreaking and our hearts go out to them. Some friends of the store have set up a GoFundMe to help with the next steps in rebuilding. If you’re able, please consider donating to help support a local, independently owned business in their recovery. Additionally, another great way to show support is by purchasing a gift card from them to use once they are able to reopen! They are also still accepting online book orders. You can donate or place an order via the link in the comments.
