We’re very excited to welcome some new members to the Buffalo Street Books family. Four new paintings in our Kids section, done specifically for our store by local illustrator Johanna van der Sterre! Now really you need to come down here and see them for yourself, but for now, you can take a quick peek at them. We’re also very happy to welcome Johanna as our newest shareholder in the Cooperative!
Dear friends,
We are proud to announce that Buffalo Street Books will be re-opening its doors this Saturday April 23rd at 10am!
I’d just like to point out to all of you how amazing what we’ve all accomplished has been. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that this effort has gotten national attention within the bookselling and publishing communities. This morning I got a call from Nashville, Tennessee asking about what we’re doing, and last week I fielded an email from Moscow, Idaho. And once you’re big in Moscow, Idaho, you really know you’ve made it.
The work and support of the community on this project has been nothing short of astounding and I am very happy to say that this Saturday, we’ll be able to give you all, our new owners, the thank you gift you deserve: a community owned bookstore, freshly cleaned and ready for business (okay, the cleaning hasn’t happened just yet, but we’ve got a couple days still).
To celebrate our reopening, we’ll have food and beverages available and in the evening, we’ll have music from Doug Robinson, Eric Aceto and Brian Earle at 5pm and the Catherine Joy Band at 6:30pm.
I hope you’ll be able to join us. I look forward to seeing all of your faces and shaking all of your hands (or just one of each of your hands, forgive my grammatical confusion) and welcoming you back to Buffalo Street Books.
yours,
bob
Hey folks. Just a quick note to let you know we have officially incorporated with the State of New York as Buffalo Street Cooperative, Inc.
This little bit of paperwork should make a big difference in how much we can get done and how fast we can get the doors open again!
