Sorry folks for the website being down yesterday so we have a little catching up to do today. First off, we started seeing the rumors about the beloved Bookspace possibly being shutdown at the end of last week in the Twitter Universe as well as speculations from Philebrity and The A.V. Club Philly surfacing yesterday. Well, below is an update from The A.V. Club Philly that they received from Bookspace co-owner Ben Orlick.
Not shutdown completely– as of now the bookstore remains open our normal hours. We have temporarily stopped hosting shows for now as we await further details from the city–we haven’t gotten any paperwork from them yet, so it’s hard to elaborate much at this point, but we’ll definitely be taking care of whatever is necessary to resume other activities. I’ll keep you posted in the next couple days as the details evolve.
Obviously, we hope for the best for the space and its kind peeps who help keep it going. In the meantime, swing on by and purchase some items to show your support. (Photo by David Turcotte)
