Harriett’s Bookshop

Philadelphia, PA

Named for historical heroine Harriet Tubman, owner Jeannine Cook opened Harriett’s Bookshop to celebrate women authors, women artists, and women activists. Make a donation today to help Harriett’s secure a permanent location in Philadelphia!

“As it stands, I am a modern day sharecropper bringing energy and investing money in a location that I cannot pass down to my children. But we can change that. The new permanent location would give us a mission focused bookshop with an 1800s residential feel that includes multiple floors of private book nooks, indoor/outdoor green space, meeting rooms, and a state of the art third floor apartment which will be used to house a visiting rotation of authors, artists, and activists. With your donation, our monument to Harriet Tubman will be a permanent staple in the community and our impact will be felt for generations. We appreciate your contribution from the bottom of our hearts.” Jeannine Cook

Monarch Books

Monarch Books is a new independent bookstore in the heart of Arroyo Grande, CA. Owner Taneesha Regez says the name of the shop is a nod to the iconic Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove, but also holds metaphorical meaning. "Of course, it's a symbol of our coast. I think also it's a symbol of this dream. This is the second half of my life and this is what I want to do forever—like a monarch emerging from its chrysalis.” (from newtimesslo.com).
