This past weekend, the staff of Valley Bookseller in Stillwater, Minn., gathered for their annual Christmas dinner, which had been delayed due to ongoing issues with ICE in the Twin Cities area. The 16 staffers of this entirely women-owned and -operated store enjoyed a lively evening of food and fellowship to celebrate the most financially successful year in the store's 36 years of business. Everyone brought along their current favorite adult and children's title to share with the group. (photo: Rachael Johnson)
