Update! In this strangest of times, we’re breaking our long-standing tradition of being open everyday but May Day and New Years and have closed the store to the public starting from March 16th to cut down possible vectors of COVID19.

If you would like to support Left Bank through this, please donate to our gofundme.

If you’d like to order books, check out our webstore. we are still shipping out mail orders 3 days a week (through USPS), but won’t be in the store within regular hours to take calls.

If you don’t need any books now, or want to give someone an awesome gift, purchasing store credit is also a huge help. We don’t currently have a way for you to use store credit to purchase anything on our online store, but you can email or message us through Facebook or Instagram to purchase books with it.

Thank you all for your support and please stay safe out there.
