Hello all!

This time a year ago, we were packing up on Franklin Street and making a 
big leap of faith to move to Carrboro. Almost a year in to being open on 
Lloyd Street, we see every day why this was the right choice - we've had 
a huge increase in the use of our community meeting space, a ton of 
exciting events that we wouldn't have had space for before, and a huge 
committed crew of volunteers bringing new ideas and new energy to the 
space every day.

As many of you know, the summer months have often been a hard time 
financially for the bookstore. The lull in business and the flux of 
volunteer schedules can often be a challenge. This summer, in our 
beautiful new space, we've been busy with multiple projects and groups, 
new books by local authors, and a thriving volunteer collective scheming 
up ways to bring folks in to the shop and to have fun doing it. Despite 
this, the financial strain of low summer sales is still a concern. So 
now is a great time to support this community project with the funds we 
need to keep going strong!

Our collective is hosting a street fair style fundraiser this Saturday, 
called Busking for the Bookstore. You can find more info at the Facebook 
event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/775266059260387/

From 6 - 9 we'll have musicians, performers, and art. Drop in and spend 
some time, and bring donations to help the bookstore weather the hard 
summer months and head into the fall able to keep growing!

We'll also be hosting a sustainer drive during this event. A variety of 
local artists and businesses have donated awesome items to really cool 
prize packs that are up for a raffle that you will join if you become an 
Internationalist Books & Community Center Sustainer, or if you increase 
or renew your sustaining membership.

If you can't make the event, you can still enter the raffle! All 
sustainers that sign up between now and midnight on July 25th will be 
entered into the raffle as well. Sign up at

With lots of love,

The collective at Internationalist Books & Community Center
