"We originally created our 'Good Books for Tough Times' display a year ago, in hopes that it would not only bring comfort and inspiration to our community members, but that it would be a potentially temporary display," Next Chapter Booksellers, St. Paul, Minn., posted on Instagram. "Here we are, in 2026, not only moving it forward to a more prominent location, but it is growing. The books are still great, the times are still terrible, but most importantly, we are always here, for our neighbors, for our community, for our fellow readers.
"We still have our comfy seating (back by our staff picks), so grab a drink at Dunn Bros, a snack from the Cheese Shop, and find a safe and healing space with your neighbors here, at Next Chapter Booksellers."
