Dear friends—like everyone in the Twin Cities, we are reeling and heartbroken and sad and angry and all the things. We want #JusticeForGeorge. We want our neighbors and friends to be safe and okay. We want everyone to be shouting together that #BlackLivesMatter

The store and our staff are safe, and we& #39;re so grateful to the folks who have reached out to check on us. We& #39;re okay, and to keep it that way we& #39;re going to to be shutting up shop early tonight and sending our staff home. If you want to pick up your books, we& #39;ll be here till 3.
We are not sure what tomorrow will look like, for us or for the Twin Cities or for the state. We& #39;ll keep you posted with what we know.
In the meantime, if you want to buy a book, we recommend @MoonPalaceBooks. They are working hard to keep the community fed and safe.
