The new and used bookstore will be moving from its longtime home at 180 N. 8th St. to 1576 W. Grove St. The new location is larger and will have a dedicated events space, as well as its own parking lot. It is a 10-minute walk from the current location.
The Rediscovered Books team is looking to raise $20,000, which would go toward moving costs, paying staff while the store is closed, and anything unexpected along the way. Backer perks range from limited-edition stickers to a private cocktail hour and shopping experience.
"Our decision to leave 8th Street, where we have been for the past 14 years, was not made lightly," read an announcement posted on Instagram. "Our current space has been a great place for us, and we have enjoyed being a part of the downtown core. However, we are ready for new opportunities that will help support long-term stability, and we believe this space on Grove Street will fulfill our needs and allow us to do even more with our ever-growing community of readers."
