Do you carry any Swahili language learning books? The head of security at the blood bank I intern at gives me the most terrifying vibes I've ever felt, but they mainly talk in Swahili if they have any choice, and I think if I can learn a bit, maybe they'll be less scary?

Hmm, good question. We'll check stock and see what we have on offer- We do in fact have a book like that, but also good on you for wanting to learn ^^!

If you're more technologically inclined, I would also suggest giving Duolingo a look? I'm not well versed with the app but they've got a pretty wide selection of languages, that might be helpful too 😊

#{chrono}#{IC - Vale}#Vale chats #{real talk i have no idea where or how she gets these books. I'm sure theres a way to order them but I havent looked into that o~o}#{i kinda just bluff a roll and see if the results fit and so far they've all fit in some manner?}#The store also has a study area if that interests you ^^#they're not big study nooks but they're quiet and offer a bit of privacy!

Hey time sensitive question. Would you happen to have a reasonably up to date map of the local sewer systems? Similar vein, if you think you hear a gator in a runoff drain, just ignore it but also walk away.

We don't exactly have extensive records since we're not exactly an archive, but it looks like the most recent example we have is from about 30 years ago? Would that help?

#{me reading this: wait what's this about th- *sees 'gator'* oh! 👀👋👋}#also should I be concerned about gators in the sewer? i feel like that's probably a concern.#Vale chats #{chrono}#{IC - Vale}#{good luck my friend! o7}

Looks like we indeed do! Are you interested in picking up the book? We can put a temporary hold on it until you stop by to pick it up!

Hiya there! Sorry for the weird formatting on the ask, only recently found out about your storefront and for some reason the primary site doesn't load on my phone. I had a quick question as to your stock-would you happen to have any books published by Karl Landsteiner on Blood Typing released prior to 1901? I have a friend who particularly enjoys first editions, but I've never been able to find a storefront that had anything earlier than the first revision so it's basically my go-to ask! Dr. Katherine Fellmarsh, M.D.

Fantastic question! Though I'm sorry to hear our website's misbehaving, I'll have our resident tech expert take a look :(

I'll go ahead and check our inventory!

#{IC - Vale}#Vale chats #{chrono}#{i honestly dont know if this would be a public convo but fuck it why not? i dont feel like doing direct-to-user stuff rn and thats no fun}#{for y'all at least :3c}

The white stray hanging out in front of the store has been named Snowball by the staff, and yes she is friendly! However she is also very smart and we haven't been able to catch her yet. Please be nice to the cat.

#update #{chrono}#{IC - Vale}#one of these days we'll get a collar on her >m<#also maybe I'll snap a proper photo of her sometime! she's very cute 🥺

Regardless of whether or not the bookstore is haunted, please refrain from performing exorcisms or trying to cleanse the bookstore. Customers may have asthma or other health complications, and also we've hired professional services before. It doesn't work.

#update #{IC - Vale}#also you get used to it after a while. it'd remove the charm of the place :(#{chrono}#you can attempt to talk to the ghost if you're feeling bold enough but you're responsible for your own wellbeing at that point ó~ò
