Banned Books Week is right around the corner, and it's such an important time to take part. It's a week when librarians, teachers, authors, publishers, booksellers, and readers all come together to celebrate the freedom to read, support the free and open access to information, and fight against the harms of censorship.

While our store was undergoing a little renovation yesterday, we went on a tour of some of our fellow Central Ohio Bookstores! We had such a good time meeting other booksellers and finding some treasures to bring home with us. We didn't have time to go to all of them, so we're going to have to do it again!
