As we approach this new year expecting new possibilities, we pause to think about the year we are leaving.  It fills us with gratitude for the highlights of the year. In the Spring,  Source Booksellers was recognized by Publishers Weekly naming us as Bookstore of the year for 2025.  What a high regard to have been chosen!  We wear this honor humbly and with deep appreciation for all those across the country who brought this honor into being. 

In the late fall, we were chosen to receive the City of Detroit Legacy Grant.  Being recognized in one’s own home is the very best.  In between both of these honors we are grateful to all of our customers, colleagues, neighbors, delivery people, friends of the store and our amazing team who makes “the everyday”  work well for our dear customers.  Thank you to everyone, everywhere in the  Source Booksellers’ orbit. 

We wish you joy in the coming year and all blessings during this season of holiness.
We wish you more curiosity in your literary life.
We wish you happiness as you discover more books and ideas in the books you read and the people you meet.

Janet and Alyson and the entire team #2005💛👏🏽📘

Happy Kwanzaa from all of us at Source Booksellers ❤️🖤💚

As we honor community, culture, and collective responsibility, we’re also excited to remind you about our annual Virtual Kwanzaa Celebration coming up Monday, December 29th from 5–6 PM ET ✨

This year we’re joined by Ben Passmore, author of Black Arms to Hold You Up, for a powerful conversation centered on Cooperative Economics (Ujamaa) and the ongoing history of Black resistance. The event is virtual, so folks near and far can join in, learn, and reflect together.

Wishing you a meaningful Kwanzaa filled with learning, sharing, and connection. We hope to see you online as we close out the season in community.
