We’re prepped and ready for passport stamping and surprised exclamations of new visitors saying “I didn’t know you had Adult books!”

When an event gets a dog attendee and it’s really hard to concentrate on the authors because of him 😍😍😍

Sometimes you do serious things at the bookstore and sometimes you photoshop ridiculous pictures for April Fools.

Our library carts telling us NOT to stand next to children when using. 😂😂

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the launch party for RINGS OF HEARTWOOD at @redballoonbookshop.bsky.social !!

When you have serious bookstore meetings with light up dinosaur and unicorn pens.

Update: Stuffy Sleepover was a success!

Nothing screams children's bookstore like planning a sleepover for children's beloved stuffies. Yes, there will be photoshoots and bedtime stories.
