NEWS BRIEF: Queer, Feminist store Charis Books chosen for donation
Charis Books to receive $500 from Bookshop.org
The South's oldest independent feminist bookstore is getting a one-time donation from the Golden Bookmark Sweepstakes. Charis Books & More in Decatur will receive $500 from Bookshop.org, the online platform supporting local independent bookstores that created the GBS. The sweepstakes grants winners $600 to spend on the website every year for life, and the chance to pick a particular bookstore to receive a donation.
Atlanta-born 24-year-old winner Sanjana Basker chose Charis Books because it was one of the first such stores she ever went to, according to a press release, which added, “As a queer and feminist bookstore with a heavy focus on community-integration and activism, she felt her donation to the store was the best way for her to support a pillar in the community.” charisbooksandmore.com
