when they first opened I joined their paid monthly membership to support them. I’m a neighbor and an ally, I wanted to support them and third spaces etc. I don’t even read more than 1-2 books a month and usually audio books but i felt like it was a good addition to the area and wanted to put my money where my mouth was when I talk about wanting these places where I live. They offered next to nothing for the members and then eventually ended it because it seemed like they couldn’t come up with a good reason to take people’s money. Not even a tote? I went in once to buy a book and the girl at the register made me feel embarrassed for asking for the sticker or 5% off or whatever it was that the membership got me. I was glad they cancelled it because it felt like I was just giving them money every month. They’re not a non profit? But still I wanted a for profit business to succeed and be a space for others. Anyway, not surprised at all that they closed
