Interacting with my co-workers, and being able to meet authors and work with books
A shared love of books and nerd culture, and due to the demographic of the staff, very queer too. It's welcoming in a way I thought I wouldn't experience again since graduating school.
Very inclusive and most of the people who are hired here are well read and have a mountain of work experience

Just talking, getting to know each other. What books we like. Telling jokes. A safe space to vent or ask for help. In general, people are really nice
My coworkers are a blast to work with, many employees are creatives, writers, artists, musicians and their backgrounds bring a lot to the table when handselling books our curating store displays.
My team of unionized employees are educated, highly capable, and highly undervalued people. They are diverse, they are resourceful, funny, impeccable people and the most collaborative and inspiring workforce I've ever had the privilege of working with.
