Help The Crowded Bookshelf purchase new equipment
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Renee and I am the owner and founder of The Crowded Bookshelf, a pop-up indie bookstore based in Fort Collins, CO. I am raising funds to help replace my damaged store fixtures.
I have been running my pop-up bookshop for the last two years. During that time I have met so many amazing readers and worked with other great local businesses. I've been able to support great local authors who are publishing their first book. It's been a good two years, but they have certainly taken their toll on my equipment.
I want to make sure customers have the best experience they can when they visit one of my pop-ups. Ensuring fixtures are functional, safe, and easy to interact with is the first step to a comfortable browsing experience. The only thing I want my readers to be worried about is what book to buy!
Below is a list of what items will be replaced or upgraded with the funds donated.
- New bookshelves
- New bins for transporting books to and from pop-ups
- New table for displaying books and other items
- Shopping bags for customer convenience
Starting this pop-up has been such an amazing experience and the store has grown so much in the last couple of years. My hope is to continue to be a positive presence in my community, helping readers find the books they love, books that will help them feel seen and understood. Any help you can provide to make that happens is greatly appreciated!
You can find out more about me and my store at thecrowdedbookshelf.com.
You can also find the store on social media.

Thank you so much, and may your bookshelf always be crowded!
