Avid Bookshop, Athens, Ga., which announced recently that it will relocate this spring from its Five Points space to a larger space in the Atlas II building at 625 Barber St., Suite 150, has launched a $10,000 GoFundMe to help finance the move. Already almost $4,000 has been raised.

"The changes aren't limited to a new address: we'll be making both behind-the-scenes and public-facing shifts to our operations as well," owner Janet Geddis wrote on the GoFundMe page. "More on that to come, but trust that it's all good news and all of it comes from my desire for my business to be a source of strength, connection, delight, peace, education, introspection, and community. If Avid is to continue to be a home away from home--a safe place--for all of us for the long haul, I need to keep apace with the upheavals we'll surely continue to encounter during these turbulent times. "
