Margie’s Book Nook seeks community support to repair its roof

Margie’s Book Nook, an important fixture in Uptown Susanville asks the community to support its need for a new roof, and they’ve even started a GoFundMe account (gofund.me/8552269b).

According to a Facebook post, over the past few winters, the Book Nook has sustained serious damage from heavy storms and snow melt that can’t be kept up with a leaky roof. We (Shelby and David Teeter) are reaching out to the Lassen-County-and-beyond community to help keep our independent bookstore operational and the inventory safe from additional water damage (save the books).

We are proud to be a hub for the community, sell tickets for local events, place special book orders for our customers, and have especially loved helping the local library by hosting its weekly children’s story time and providing every child with a free used book each week during the library renovations. Now, we are in need of a little support. We are turning to you, the amazing indie bookstore and literary-loving community we have come to cherish over the past 40 years, to help us make the necessary roof replacement a reality and keep the Book Nook operational for years to come.

Please consider donating to our bookstore and know that every cent matters. Donations will be used for costs associated with building maintenance and fixtures in need of replacement from storm and water damages.

We will continue to think outside of the box to raise funds for our needed repairs, but appreciate anything anyone can give to help us reach our goals and keep our Uptown bookstore open.
