Friends! Loyalty is joining the nationwide call for a General Strike Friday along with several of our fellow DC area bookstores! We're taking the day to be loud, in community, and say ICE OUT FOREVER! See you Saturday.

Friends! We are closing at 6PM today and Thursday so our booksellers can get home safely. We'll keep updating socials and our website with any additional hour changes this weekend!

We are SO EXCITED about the next book from Chanda Prescod-Weinstein who has been such community minded litizen and active participant in fighting *the horrors* while being a bad ass writer pushing genre boundaries to imagine a better world for us all. Get in babes, we're preordering!

We're back open today (Tuesday!) with our normal hours! Come say hi and grab a sugar cookie as a reward for venturing outside! We're donating sales from today to @dcmigrantmutualaid.org since we were closed on Sunday!

We hope y'all have a good book today for all your wintry needs! Loyalty will be closed for the day. If you need a good book our friends @bookshop.org have ebooks now and an audiobook from @libro.fm is great company! For now we're resting up and prepping for some special Monday hours (and shoveling).
