Had a bookishly wonderful time in Columbus this past weekend, where I signed books for @thebookloft.bsky.social (and found the Lego reproduction of the store at Lego Land) & guested at a discussion of "Leave No Trace" with some wonderful readers -- one of whom made COOKIES! Good times, y'all πŸ“šπŸŒŸπŸͺ🐻

Small crew arrived 6am to start digging us out. If enough staff can make it in safely, we'll open. Still a level 2 out there so be careful.

Snow day! Sorry (but also not sorry) that we will remain closed during this level 3 snow level emergency.

What's everyone been reading during these snowy days?

Warming Centers During Cold Weather When very cold weather is in the forecast, the City of Columbus provides warming centers, so people have a safe indoor place to go. This page shows current locations and hours.

Temperatures are brutal put there. Please, be careful. Of course, warming centers aren't a solution to a systemic problem but they can save lives.

We are sad to share that, not only a coworker but beloved friend, Brooke, passed away on Saturday. Passionate about the Crew, Audis, & could often be found working amongst the books on his favorite subjects - military history & politics. The empty place in the store & our hearts will never be filled
