Uptown Kid Lit—Word Up’s book festival for kids—is back on Sunday, September 7, 2025 at Pat’s Lawn at Inwood Hill Park! Register at WordUpBooks.com/UKL

Inventory in July is a wrap! BIG THANKS to our collective for helping check our shelves (and all the various nooks and crannies where books can hide). We're not done, but we'll continue next month.

Thanks Caroline Dinkelspiel for stopping by and signing your amazing new picture book (and taking pictures with Spidey)! It was surreal having you stop by and THEN SEEING YOU ON TV at our mom's house!!
