I drove down to find the new Sediton Books and help out a little but with their new space. It in a kinda neat 2 story bulding that used to be a Frat House on Old Spanish Trail.
I had been kind confused about how to get there. I think the easiest way to get there from a highway is to take 45 to Spur 5 and take Spur 5 south until it T’s into Old Spanish Trail. Take a right, and then it’s on your left in between MLK Blvd. and Calhoun.
Probably around 10 people were there through the afternoon, cleaning bookshelves computers and other things that were still covered with soot, cleaning dishes, moving furniture around, and disscussing the best way to lay out the building so it can fit their lending library, books for sale, free store and meeting space. There is definatly more space and it’s better divided up that the building on Washington Ave. Somehow I didnt take any photos on the inside.
Some folks came by to drop off furniture and I left some zines and magazines. The progress is slow going, but many of the folks seemed optomistic that they might be able to have some kind of event there on May First.
