The first-ever Bookends & Beginnings window display pays tribute to Juneteenth and also literally pledges to pay 15% of the sales of our antiracist book recommendations toward fighting racism in Evanston. Thanks to our landlord for letting us borrow the window of the former CouCou & Olive on Sherman Avenue.

The last few weeks/months have been so intense that we completely forgot that Bookends & Beginnings had a birthday coming up--today! So, Now We Are Six. Here's a picture of Nina making the store's first phone call, when there wasn't even anywhere yet to put the phone. We're sending love and deep gratitude to everyone whose support has helped create what we sometimes hear referred to as an Evanston institution. Especially lately, we could not have done this without you.❤️❤️❤️

One great new way you can help make sure everyone finds out about Evanston's possibly-best-kept-secret bookstore Bookends & Beginnings is by grabbing one of our fabulous new high-fashion hoodies, sweatshirts, or t-shirts and wearing it proudly around town (or anywhere else in the universe). Or grab the tote so when we open our doors again, you can come in and stuff it full of books. These are available for a limited time! We miss you! . . . Link in Bio
