Did you mail a card?
Did you buy a gift?
Did you pick a party outfit and ask a date to come along?
This Saturday Columbia’s Indie bookstore, Queen Takes Book, is celebrating Birthday Number One. You don’t need to send a card or bring a gift but your presence for the festivities is most cordially requested by owners Katie McNally and Tim Pinel. Here they are at their opening event a year ago.
Can’t make it Saturday?
Check out what they have planned for the rest of the month.
Although their name is Queen Takes Book, I’d say that they’ve been doing a whole lot more making than taking over the last year: making a warm and welcoming space for book lovers, making friends in the community, making connections with other businesses and supporting local initiatives and events. Best of all: making room for diverse ideas and opinions.
I invite my readers to make a difference for Queen Takes Book by keeping them in mind not just on their birthday but in the days, weeks, and months to follow. Keeping a small mom and pop business going is a challenge. I have a feeling that they need just as much devotion from the community as they have shown to the community since April of 2024.
Are you curious about the special announcement they’ll be making at noon on Saturday? Me, too. Any guesses? Feel free to send them my way.
