Oh dear, the lovely bookstore Owl & Company on Piedmont Ave in Oakland is struggling!

It was purchased from the old owner in Feb 2020, and you can imagine what happened next. No rent relief, book purchases moving online, etc.

Buy books from them here and pick up in person https://owlandco.square.site/s/order, or have them delivered using their Bookshop storefront: https://bookshop.org/shop/owlandcompany

And if you can, offer donations to keep them afloat so they can get their feet under them and keep this wonderful bookstore open!

They are women owned with an emphasis on women's writing, are hosting events, and a wonderful part of the neighborhood.
