Bibliobar, a bookstore and bar set to open next spring in the north Dallas, Tex., area, has launched a $50,000 Indiegogo campaign to help fund the initial inventory orders, the buildout of the store, furnishings, technology costs, and coffee and tap setup for the bar.
In a statement, owners Jessica Tresp, Chelsea Green and Colin Green said: "We want Bibliobar to be a welcoming place for the families in the community to refine or rediscover their love of reading. By hosting a crowdfunding campaign, we give our future shoppers the chance to contribute to the store before we even open and show their support for an independent bookstore in the north Dallas area."
