Help Davis Get a Bookstore!

[elfword.livejournal.com]

Davis Square hasn't had a bookstore since McIntyre & Moore moved out almost a year ago. I and a group of others are sharing ideas, connections, and effort to try and bring a bookstore to Davis Square.

If you're a fellow book-lover that'd like to see an indie bookstore (with a sizable used books section) make its home in Davis, you should come to our first meetup, this upcoming Monday (3/22) at 7:00 PM, in Blue Shirt Cafe. We'll have a sign on a table or two announcing who we are.

For more info, or to show someone you think would be interested, please check out: http://bit.ly/davisbookstore

As the site says, two of our top priorities are:

1. Finding a bookstore starter (someone that can open a bookstore, a current bookstore owner that wants to expand or move, or a chain) and convincing them.
2. Helping a bookstore starter get the resources they need to open a bookstore (capital, location, inventory).

If you have any ideas about either of these, please comment!
