Our mission is to increase public access to books and their authors, hold space for community conversations guided by books and their authors, increase critical literacy and the love of reading for St. Louisans of all ages, and do so in a way that centers marginalized communities.
The Literacy & Justice Project is our newest project, in response to the increase in book bannings by public schools and elsewhere. For our first initiative, we are offering free copies of selected banned books for people, especially young people, who want to read them.

River City Readers is a collaboration with St. Louis Public Schools that encourages literacy and the love of reading by providing new, relevant books to students for their personal libraries, building classroom libraries, and arranging for authors to visit participating schools. Our 2022 holiday annual Angel Tree Project is dedicated to providing free books to the students of Central Visual and Performing Arts High School and Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience through the River City Readers program. School staff are selecting titles to meet the needs of students as they heal from the gun violence on their campuses in October.
The Left Bank Books Author Event Series is our well known project, bringing literally hundreds of authors a year to the local stage or virtual screen to talk about their newest books with their St. Louis audience. Nearly all of these events are free and open to the public and rarely do book sales alone pay for the cost to produce them. A high percentage of these free events give voice to underrepresented authors.
We are open daily (Mon-Fri 9:30-5:30, Sat 10-5, Sun 11-4), year-round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day and the occasional blizzard! We are proud to be a locally owned, independent bookshop located in the heart of downtown Belfast, a vibrant, dedicated-to-the-arts waterfront community.
Books Like Me is our ongoing effort to get more diverse books into the hands and homes of the children we serve. This month we kick-off our awareness and fundraising campaign around books featuring characters of all colors and backgrounds.
Cleaned and new books are distributed either through our Building Home Libraries program for PreK kids or free school-wide book fairs for older students. To distribute the new and gently used books, we join with literacy partners like schools, clinics, Head Start programs, and other organizations that support literacy development for underserved children and families.
We currently have a surplus of books for older students, so we're temporarily not accepting chapter books and books for older elementary students. At the same time, we have a high need for donated board and picture books for young students.
Annie Philbrick (owner): During Tropical Storm Sandy, the store flooded, and we had to shut down for a while to completely gut the store. The community all came together to support us, and some of our loyal customers volunteered to help us clean up and shelve books. It was probably one of the hardest moments of owning the bookstore, but with the community support, we were able to rally and reopen in three weeks.
At the New York Fed, our mission is to make the U.S. economy stronger and the financial system more stable for all segments of society. We do this by executing monetary policy, providing financial services, supervising banks and conducting research and providing expertise on issues that impact the nation and communities we serve.

The asteroid 5099 Iainbanks was named after him shortly after his death.[62] On 23 January 2015, SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk named two of the firm's autonomous spaceport drone ships Just Read The Instructions and Of Course I Still Love You, after ships in Banks's novel The Player of Games.[63] Another, A Shortfall of Gravitas, began construction in 2018. This refers to the ship Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall, first mentioned in Look to Windward.[64]

We knew almost nothing. I worked there a couple days a week, from April to June, so I ended up as the adult buyer. David said to me, after we bought it, "You know Mom, it's not just selling books. It's really a complicated business, but I think you can do it." And here I am, 12 years later.
How does your bookstore compare to others? What's its character?
I actually own two bookstores now - Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT, and Savoy Bookshop and Cafe in Westerly, RI. They are both independent general bookshops but have entirely different characters: Bank Square Books is located in a coastal tourist town, and has been in the same location for almost 30 years. The Mystic store is about 4,500 square feet of retail space and was originally a gas station in the 1950s, so the physical shape is pretty funky.
Savoy Bookshop & Cafe was born in July 2014 when we were approached by a philanthropist who couldn't imagine a town without a library or a bookstore. (A bookstore had recently closed in Westerly--a residential town with a large summer population in Watch Hill and the Rhode Island beaches.) He said, "I have a space in an old hotel, so if I build you a bookshop and it doesn't cost you anything, will you run it?" How could I not say yes? So, in March 2016, we opened a beautiful, classic bookshop with a cafe that is reminiscent of 1920s New York or London.
Which book do you recommend most, and why?
Mostly fiction as that is what I read most. This past year, I recommended Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, and a classic--Follow Your Heart by Susan Tamaro. Also, one of my favorite authors from the 1980s (yes, I'm dating myself!) is Laurie Colwin. We sell a ton of her books, as all are my staff picks, and many have not heard of her. A couple of Christmas's ago, HarperCollins put out a book by Eleanor Roosevelt called You Learn By Living. It was a staff pick of mine and we sold hundreds. It's a gem of a book about how to get the most out of life.
What is the craziest thing that has happened while you were working at the store?
When we were flooded by Tropical Storm Sandy in Fall 2012. It was a nightmare and closed Bank Square Books for three weeks. There were five or six inches of brackish water all throughout the store, as the tide came up the river and had nowhere to go but into the store. Someone was kayaking down Main Street. We had to replace the floor and the walls after moving all of the books, fixtures, computers, everything out of the store within 48 hours, or else we would have lost it all. I still have PTSD when the tide is high and the rainfall is over three or four inches.
What's the biggest trend you've noticed in the past 3-6 months, in terms of what folks are coming into the store to request or what they're seeking recommendations on?
Not political books for sure right now, except Fire and Fury during the winter. want something to read to take their mind off of what is happening in our country and something to disappear with. It might be a bestseller, might be a classic. One of my booksellers says that horror, sci-fi and thrillers are out because people don't want to be scared anymore. Our philosophy section seems to be cleaned out after a weekend. Good commercial fiction, beach reads, but that might be regional.
Both shops tend to sell a wide variety of everything. After the long list for the Man Booker Prize was announced, people came looking for those books and were disappointed that we didn't have them all, and didn't understand when we told them some were not yet published in the U.S.
What makes a great bookstore, and why?
Creating a sense of community and a place where people feel they belong and can experience human interaction and discovery. We try to curate our sections carefully to provide something for everyone to read. Kids come for story time and we host a number of author events, sometimes five a week, to bring authors to our customers and to support the literary community.
Favorite library?
My childhood library, as I have fond memories of going there in June, getting ten books, and going to the island where we went every summer. It is the University District Branch of the Seattle Public Library system, one of those old granite and marble libraries that echoed stillness and smelled like books.
Kris read Shulamith Firestone on feminism, Amiri Baraka on race. She also reached, without knowing why, for De Profundis, by Oscar Wilde. The title revealed nothing. But Kris had begun to wonder about her sexual orientation, and ever since Eloise, the right books had always seemed to come along when she needed them. 0852c4b9a8
