We have TWO BIG announcements about our bookshop to share shortly. With everything everything online, viral, pop-up & specialized, how can an independent, brick and mortar, general interest bookstore survive? We have ideas. Do you? Stay tuned! @americanbookseller.bsky.social @shelf-awareness.com

Bullshit. His age, growing up in NY, he knew. President Donald Trump says he didn’t know the term “shylock” is considered antisemitic when he used it in a speech to describe unscrupulous moneylenders. apnews.com/article/trum...

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

You can take a name off of a naval ship, it won’t change what Harvey Milk showed LGBTQ people that they should be proud of who they are and who they love. We’re thrilled to be showcasing his story at a number of story times this month- particularly Pride: the Story of Harvey Milk. #harveymilk
