Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

1- We wanted to give a shoutout to former CALIBA ED Calvin Crosby at the King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City with his recent recommendations list for Indigenous Peoples' Day. "The most colonialist named bookshop in America is now Native owned. Land Back."

2- In recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day, Once Upon a Time Bookstore shared this video to acknowledge that the store and the Montrose Shopping Park occupies land of the Chumash, Tongva (Gabrieleno), and Fernandeño Tataviam people. Thank you for sharing such beautiful titles!
