My name is Ben "Stone" Stomberg and I want to start an independent new & used bookstore in downtown Galesburg, IL. I'm in the process of securing financing and this is one of the ways I'm trying to show the level of community support for a bookstore.
Thank you for your help!
The massive wave of support shows that Galesburg is done waiting for outside corporations to tell us what we should read. It is time for the city planners to stop ignoring our demand for a real bookstore downtown.

We need a local spot to actually hang out. Everything downtown is just empty storefronts right now. Bring it back!!!!

YES PLEASE. I miss the smell of old books and just hanging out downtown. This would be so good for Galesburg.
