We are beyond grateful for the community of readers that support us and allow us to keep serving Greenpoint and Jersey City. 💘Today, as we boycott major corporations and stand up to billionaires, we wanted to give you the chance to continue supporting your friendly local indie (👋) via our brand-new membership program! Here's how it works:

⭐You can sign up at withfriends.co/word or in-store with one of our friendly staff members
⭐Memberships start at $5/month and include perks like discounts, free merch, and free entry to events
⭐This will not replace our current customer loyalty program, so don't worry -- your points will not vanish overnight!

Thank you for your commitment to creating a better book economy -- one that isn't run by billionaires. ✨
