After suffering devastating losses due to an underground fire in late September, VIVA Books has reopened their space on Charles Street and is seeking donations of resale quality books to restock its shelves. Included on Viva’s wish list are architecture books of any kind (especially urban design theory); any art and design books, especially books published by university presses; good literature, fiction or non-fiction; and anything about Baltimore!

If you receive new books this holiday and need to make room on your shelves, please consider helping a local small business. Bring your gently used books to the VIVA Books Community Day Open House, January 15 from 11am to 7pm. Come and meet Viva and the shop kitty and enjoy nibbles while browsing.
