It's that time of year again! That's right: TRANS! RIGHTS! READATHON!!!! 💙🩷🤍 This year, we are partnering with @tlclfk.bsky.social. 5% of ALL our proceeds from March 21-31 will go to the Trans Lawrence Coalition's Mutual Aid Fund, helping all of our trans friends and neighbors here in Lawrence.

"Marian Washington dominated the sales these last two weeks! ... 'On Tyranny' remains a consistent bestseller, with '1984' slowly creeping up the list," the @ravenbookstore.bsky.social writes. lawrenceks.news/4iGfUv0

Hi, long time, no talk. We're still figuring out this whole Bluesky thing. But we've got a message from Stan, our favorite mailman we want to deliver to you. Please take the time to read, share, & call your senators & representatives. Link to the article & calling info in the bio.

If anyone is curious about how today's Senate and House sessions went today, TLC has you covered! (This one is specifically about the House Committee meeting, check out their page for a rundown on the Senate meeting.)

Also, if you could sign this petition to fight censorship in book bans, we'd greatly appreciate it: action.aclu.org/send-message...

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We wanted to share some of the Reverend's words that have centered us today, from his sermon "But If Not," Nov. 5, 1967: (1/6)

We are back to business as usual today! Which means the Raven will be open from 9am-8pm. Take care and stay safe, y'all, we'll see you soon :)

At long last, our doors will open today! We will be open from 9am to 5pm. If you need something new to read after this snowed-in weekend, stop by. It’s a cold one out there though, so please keep warm and be safe 💖

Due to road conditions, we will remain closed today. Stay warm out there, y'all!

We will be closed Sunday as well! Stay safe and bundle up with a good book, eh?

We will be closing at 4pm to ensure our booksellers get home before the storm hits! Stay safe out there y'all <3

Our longtime bookseller Dashiell wanted to let everyone know he's enjoying retirement immensely and wish everyone a very happy New Year's Eve. May our next year bring you good books, warm blankets, and furry friends ✨📚🥂 We're closed the 1st and the 2nd; see you in the new year :)

No other bookstore has a 10 ten list like ours. (As is true with all indies!) What was your favorite book of 2024?
