Help Archivist Books Become A Bookstore!

Hi Everyone :) My name is Taylor Thomas and I am the owner of The Secondhand Librarian. I've been selling books since 2020, and have managed to secure a beautiful community in Rochester through our love of reading. After three long years of planning, saving, and dreaming, I have decided to finally take the leap and open up a mobile bookstore called Archivist Books. It will be the first mobile, Black and queer owned bookstore in Rochester. I hope to have a used section for the accessibility and sustainability feature of my motto but I also plan on having a very curated selection of new books as well. I want this space to foster a community for all types of people with varied interests and incomes. It is terrifying to put this dream out here, but I'm finally ready! Your donation will go towards: • Buying a mobile space for Archivist Books • Start-up costs such as inventory and renovating • Insurance costs for operation • Supporting the dream of a queer black, book nerd :)
