Hey Galaxy! While things are looking up in terms of book festivals & conventions starting back up again, the Mysterious Galaxy team is in need of your help. All the purchases made by our wonderful customers over the past two years has helped our bookstore stay afloat and your support has been a tremendous boost for us both financially as well as in morale. The time has come however, to officially start a GoFundMe in effort to help us with some vital upgrades we need to make as well as to help recuperate some finances lost over the 2 year pandemic. We took over in Jan 2020 and were open a brief, glorious six weeks before the world shut down. These last few years have been tough, with no conventions or offsite events and higher business costs taking a financial toll. But the love for the store from the community have shown us that there’s a magic to this place that we want to keep alive for years to come. With in-person events and conventions coming back, we know there are brighter days ahead and with your help we’ll be able to put our best foot forward. Your donations will primarily help us invest in the technology and other resources the store has needed but that we had to forego to stay financially afloat. We know a donation isn’t always possible, so if you can like, share, and tell your friends about the store and why you love independent bookstores like Mysterious Galaxy, it would mean just as much to us. Link in bio to learn more about what your donation would mean for the store. -Matt & Jenni, owners of Mysterious Galaxy
