Thursday the 11th! @matociquala.bsky.social and @ceruleancynic.bsky.social in South Hadley! Join here: www.odysseybks.com/event/elizab...

For those of us who are disabled or prohibited from protesting for any reason, here are ways we can help. I can’t take a service dog to a protest, it’s unsafe for him but also for others around us. I can do some of these.

A little quiet here today, and wouldn’t have expected it any other way. Stay safe!

We had an awesome Indie Bookstore Day! We focused in on Banned Book awareness with a raffle for @abfefreeexpression.bsky.social with prizes from @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social, kids’ Banned Book Bingo, and a YA Banned Book Scavenger Hunt! Thanks Kiao Wan Thai for the tea at our Bites event!

Made banned book themed macarons for a charity raffle @odysseybks.bsky.social is organizing in support of @abfefreeexpression.bsky.social 🙌 I think the books @odysseybookshop picked for this project make excellent bookish macarons, but let me know what banned book is your favorite! #booksky
