This past Wednesday the owners of Volumes Bookcafe in Wicker Park launched an Indiegogo campaign asking book lovers and community members for a little support: the storefront was on the verge of its final chapters.
For the Georges, being a community hub meant hosting book signings, author readings, and open mikes. The co-owners keep events free, Kimberly says, because they “didn’t want it to feel forced,” but their generosity led to low funds.
With the bookcafe’s two-year anniversary coming up in March, the Georges hope the incoming donations will help keep the independent business afloat.
