Binc shared this photo from Angela Libal, owner of Title Wave Books in Anchorage, Alaska, taken after the earthquake last week. Libal reported that her customers, staff and community all came together the morning after the earthquake to help get everything organized and put back on shelves so the store could open. Over the weekend, the store held an earthquake sale ("Our warehouse books were all tossed to the floor during the recent earthquake. Rather than making them pretty again, we're offering you an all-access pass to shop-shop-shop!!... All warehouse books only $2.00.") and a special earthquake-themed storytime.
All of the bookstores and booksellers that Binc has been in touch with in the region are okay, and most of the stores have reopened.
