Friends of a Feather Membership Program

Become a Supporter of Lark & Owl Booksellers

Independent bookstores are more than places to buy books, they are places to belong. At Lark & Owl, we are a neighborhood gathering space for readers, writers, dreamers, and kindred characters who believe stories help us understand ourselves and each other. We host conversations, celebrations, author events, and quiet moments of discovery, all rooted in care for our community.

Lark & Owl Booksellers exists because of collective support. Every book you purchase, every event you attend, and every conversation you have in our space helps sustain a bookstore that prioritizes people over profit and connection over convenience.

To help us continue this work, we invite you to become a supporter through our membership program.

Why a Membership Program?

The rise of Amazon has radically reshaped the book industry. While massive corporations can absorb losses and prioritize scale over care, indie bookstores rely on community investment to remain open, staffed by real humans who know your reading tastes, who know your name, and believe books can change lives.

No matter how vibrant our events are or how purposefully curated our shelves may be, there are slow days, unexpected costs, and rising expenses that threaten the future of spaces like ours. Memberships help us weather those lulls and protect Lark & Owl as a place where people can gather without pressure to buy endlessly or leave quickly.

Your membership is a tangible vote for a different kind of world, one where bookstores are still neighborhood anchors, where ideas are exchanged freely, and where community comes first.
