Growing Minds Bookstore's move and expansion

Hi, Jen here! I have thoroughly enjoyed bringing children's books to Catonsville since November, and I would like to continue doing so for many years! In the short time we have been open, we have hosted the community-wide Waldo hunt in July, donated funds to The Children's Home through used book sales, and been a hub for book donations to Kenya Connect, The Children's Home and local classrooms.

It has come time to move and expand to a new location. Expanding will allow the store space for events, such as book clubs, author events, and open mic nights and add in coffee! We will also be able to have more books on site! There will be a period of time the store will be closed, and the funds raised here will help keep the store operational while the expansion is happening.

Here are a few of the items that funds raised here will go to support:

Moving costs

Furniture and bookshelf purchases

New book purchases

Remodeling costs

New signs
