Capitol Hills Nook Cranny Books has lost its lease You can help it find a new home

Nook & Cranny Books, a beloved local bookstore in Capitol Hill, has announced that it is losing its lease and urgently needs assistance in finding a new home. Owner Maren Comendant has initiated an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the relocation, which will address upfront costs such as deposits, rent increases, and new furnishings. Established in summer 2022, Nook & Cranny has quickly become a community favorite, previously operating in a modest 320-square-foot space. Comendant expresses enthusiasm for the possibilities that a larger venue could bring, including opportunities for seating, hosting community events, and featuring local artists. The campaign aims to secure enough financial support to navigate the upcoming months as they search for a new location.

Comendant's passion for literature and community engagement remains at the forefront of her mission. The bookstore's current address is 324 15th Ave E, and supporters are encouraged to contribute to the crowdfunding effort. As the community rallies around this local gem, the hope is to preserve and enhance its cultural contribution to Capitol Hill.
