Good morning and Happy Labor Day! Praise to all booksellers who work hard year round providing access to reading. What you do directly supports our mental health and overall quality of life, our freedom to read and learn and escape and question, and our ability to be in community with other seekers in the spaces you provide for us. Thank you for making our world a better place. 

Because it’s Labor Day, I’m making this short and sweet and focusing on ONE THING from last week’s newsletter we don’t want you to miss:

Vote for our new board members! Two seats are coming open, one held by Janet Geddis, who is completing her second term, and one held by Julia Davis, our current board president, who is seeking re-election. In addition, the board is expanding by two seats to increase member representation. 

Voting ends Sept 19. Each SIBA bookstore that is a current member has one vote.

As always, please let us know if you have questions, want to offer suggestions, or just say hello. We’re here for you!
