Help Caspian Books Create a Community Haven

Caspians Books has been honored to carry on the legacy of the former Mockingbird Books as the only bookstore in Tracy, CA. In the two years we've helmed our local bookish retreat we've put a huge emphasis on not only being a store but a community space bringing together book lovers, authors, poets, & artisans. Our goal has been to create a warm & welcoming space for everyone to visit. We've held events with local non-profits, hosted special experiences like our Jane Austen Tea, & pioneered the Silent Book Club chapter in San Joaquin.

Unfortunately our efforts have been dampered by increasing overhead costs of business. We've found a solution that will not only help us expand our community efforts but allow us more financial stability going forward that would keep us in town for years to come. We're excited to move to a new space in the very near future! Still in downtown, only steps away from our current location, at 48 W. 10th St our new space will be more open & give us opportunities to do so much more for Tracy. In addition it will decrease overhead costs allowing us to focus more on giving back to the community in the future.

This all being said we need help from YOU! The space we procured is amazing but will require some basic renovations to bring it up to date. Some demolition will be necessary, new cash wrap built, flooring installed, & lots of paint. We'd love to do more but have made these the list of must haves. We'll be putting a lot of money out of pocket to make this happen but if you're in a place to help it would be such an amazing blessing to have! The more community support we can obtain the sooner we can start putting more back into the business & into the programs we offer to you. Please consider helping us in anyway you can. We're here for you & because of you so we know we can't do this without you!
