Boneshaker Books is moving!

Boneshaker Books is moving!

Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, weโ€™ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues. 

We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul.

How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory. 

Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st.
