In light of recent local events, the staff has been instructed to "Just start wailing on them" if someone pulls out bear spray in the store

We love you @microcosm.bsky.social 💘

But these spray-edged Winnie the Pooh books 😭😍

At least one of us may have gone a little wild with the number of books we took 😏❤️

It would be hard to think of a more influential book over the last 5 years than Dena Spade's "Mutual Aid." It's a perennial bookclub pick, there’s an even chance it comes up in any conversation about local organizing, and we regularly hear customers enthusiastically recommending it to each other. 1/

Wear green into the Book Loft & show this coupon today to get 20% off your entire purchase. (We're also accepting donations of Guinness but just slide the can to the person at the help desk & make sure management doesn't see)

We're currently hiring for one full-time sales associate position. If interested, please stop in the store & pick up an application (our tech is as dated as this reference, so you can't download an app online)

Excited for Jarod K. Anderson's new fantasy book If his name doesn't sound familiar, he did Cryptonaturalist Podcast as well as wrote books of poetry & an autobiography titled, "Something in the Woods Loves You." If you're near cbus, stop in the Bookloft Tues evening to meet him for a book signing

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

Meeting in solidarity with Haitians in Springfield, Ohio now - over 600 people and still growing.

The Groundhog awoke the morning of February 2nd 2026 and opened his social media to a newsfeed rife with stories of the debauchery of the Ruling Class and man’s inhumanity toward man.(1/3)

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 📚🌟🍪🐻

🚨 There will be a surge of activity, very soon, happening (semi) locally 🚨

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?

Due to the snowpocalypse, we will be closed today. Our sincerest apologies to the inevitable young white dude who'd show up wearing only shorts & a hoodie

Going rogue here to say, even if we're open tomorrow for some insane reason, please stay home.

🚨 Community alert 🚨

Just got word Ohioana has been canceled for this year. Hopefully it's not the end of the 19 year annual book festival. Many llcal authors & book lovers really loved it

Thank you, Pluto Press

Two anti - ICE actions this evening in Cbus

Speaking of the holidays, you known what makes a great stocking stuffer, even for people who don't celebrate? That's right, a whistle.

We have a couple of changes for our holiday hours. Tonight. Dec. 23rd, we will stay open until midnight. Tomorrow, 12/24, we open at 10am & close promptly at 6. We then resume our regular hours of 10am to 11pm on Fri, Dec 26th

Though they've always had a presence & office in our city, it's been confirmed there are now at least a couple hundred of them in town. Please, look out for each other & remember, we keep us safe

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.

Sorry to interrupt any festivities but we're running a Black Friday special. We open at 9 AM & the first 100 customers in the door will receive an envelope containing something special. Deets are below. See you then!

Not my home, but I know my way around @thebookloft.bsky.social

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

This is awesome news. I'll definitely be pushing this on friends & strangers. Congrats, Eric!

Everyone keep your eyes open for this in 2027. This will be necessary reading for many of us. Congratulations, Eric 🎉

It's been too long, Bluesky friends. We're back. We received 10,000+ books this week. Feel free to stop in & check em out
