The famous and one-of-a-kind St. Mark's Bookshop is preparing for a move to a new location. The Friends of St. Mark's Bookshop Committee - local leaders, business people, authors, artists, and publishers - are asking for your support as St. Mark's transitions to its new role in the community as store, event space, and literary non-profit.
Along with its unique selection of books not often found elsewhere and its fame here and abroad, St. Mark's Bookshop will be mounting a new reading series, as well as forming a consortium of like-minded independent bookstores in NYC and across the country to promote a culture of thoughtful debate in a time of shouting.
St. Mark's Bookshop's 60 day Indiegogo campaign has made close to $8000, 16% of our $50,000 goal. We still need at least $17,000 more to even make a deposit on the new space, and $42,000 to reach our goal, which will halve Indiegogo's fees.
If you haven't done so already, share this campaign on your Facebook, Twitter, blog; tell your friends; decry and lament! But spread the word.
