Thank you all so much—we've successfully raised the $15k needed to fund our move! We're raising our goal to $20k to look to saving for some longer-term improvements to the new space. Also, our last day at the old storefront will be 10/24, with our new location opening 10/31! 🎃 bit.ly/boneshakermove
THANK YOU! Wow!! Just two weeks after announcing Boneshaker’s plans to move, we are so thrilled and grateful that we’ve already reached our initial fundraising goal of $15,000!

To anyone who has donated, shared our story and campaign, or stopped by the store: THANK YOU!! You are directly responsible for making this move a reality. With the move itself now fully funded, we’re increasing our goal to $20,000 so we can start working towards longer-term projects and goals in the new space. 

This additional $5,000 will support the ongoing stability of Boneshaker and help us save for larger-scale improvements to the space, including improving the accessibility of the bathroom and making the meeting and print spaces the best they can be. We’re keeping our fundraising page live until November 30 (which also means you have plenty of time to snag some cool limited-edition perks!)

In the meantime, we’ll be busy packing up the store and getting to moving! 
Our last day in our Seward location will be October 24 with plans to reopen at 708 W. 26th St. on October 31!

Thank you all for supporting Boneshaker!

“Finding somewhere to volunteer on a regular basis is, IMO, the best way to meet people when you move somewhere new because you know the folks around you have some degree of free time and have a shared interest,” says Nickey Robo, who moved to the Twin Cities from Portland Oregon nearly 14 years ago and started volunteering at Boneshaker Books. “Now, many years later, everyone I worked with there has left and so have I, but the folks I met there are still my closest friends!”
