LAST CHANCE! 📣 We are celebrating 9 years of ‘Leaving The Light On’ at Rebel Heart Books with a limited edition t-shirt and you only have 2 more days to order yours! These shirts are only available online through our Bonfire campaign (link in bio). We know it can be tricky to order online and not know the fit and feel of a shirt, so we got Eileen to model one in the second slide. 😈😜 (hurry and look before she makes us delete it) But for real, we are using Bonfire because they allow small businesses like ours to drop new merch without the extensive overhead costs as they handle the production, shipping, and customer service. And even though our photoshop and marketing skills might tell you differently, we aren’t experts at everything. 😆 If you’ve been here from the beginning or just stumbling across us now, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating that the lights are still on at independent bookstores. ❤️🏹 #independentbookstore #bookstoremerch #shopsmall #shoplocal

Pottery, books, probably some cookies, and definitely supporting an awesome, local artisan? This is what our Saturday night dreams are made of! As a part of the upcoming Jacksonville Jubilee celebration on July 11th, we are so thrilled to host Ceramics by Kenzie in our bookstore from 5-7pm. Many of you will recognize Kenzie from behind the espresso machine at Good Bean, but, like us up until last month, you might not know that she’s an insanely talented artisan who creates beautiful ceramics. From the moment she casually dropped pics of her pottery on social media, we knew we wanted to feature her work for this special city-wide celebration! She’ll have a range of pieces — small bowls, mugs, espresso cups, candlesticks, and more — available for purchase (cash or Venmo), and with every ceramics purchase, we will be offering 10% off your book purchase! Mark your calendars and help us welcome and support Kenzie! @nomadicpilgrimage 🩵💙 @visitjacksonvilleoregon @jacksonvillereview #shopsouthernoregon #jacksonvilleoregon #independentbookstore #jacksonvillejubilee

✨Leaving the Light on✨ Against all current political and economic odds, Independent Bookstores around the world are still here. Almost 9 years ago, Rebel Heart Books joined that indie bookstore community and we want to celebrate that the lights are still on, still providing a safe place to connect through story: ours, yours, and the books we choose to share space with. To celebrate we are releasing a very limited edition “Leaving the Light On” t-shirt! For now, this shirt can ONLY be purchased online through our campaign with Bonfire. And you only have until June 30th to order!! Bonfire allows small businesses like ours to drop new merch without the extensive overhead costs as they handle all the production, shipping, and customer service. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating 9 years of Leaving the Light On at Rebel Heart Books!! Order your shirt by June 30th online www.bonfire.com/rebelheartbooks-light-on (link also in bio) Storefront artwork: Andrew Brozyna of @ratherkeen Photography, third slide: Darcie Sternenberg #bookstoremerch #shopsouthernoregon #indiebookstore #jacksonvilleoregon #rebelheartbooks

This month, our Pride window and main table display features some book recommendations from North Medford High School’s Queer Student Union. We are so grateful that the students took the time to share with us the books that have had a lasting impact on them. We encourage you to pick up one of the middle grade or young adult books on these displays, knowing that the words written, the stories told, mean a lot to a young person in our community. Everyone belongs at the bookstore. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 What book has helped you show up more fully as yourself in the world? What book have you found yourself in? 🏹❤️ #pridemonth #independentbookstore #readqueerallyear #shopsouthernoregon #jacksonvilleoregon

Independent Bookstore Day is here!!! 🥳 We really hope you’ll join us Saturday, from 11-5, as we celebrate alongside the other 3,000+ indie bookstores across the nation. We feel so lucky and grateful to be one of several in the Rogue Valley, and the only one in our little historic town of Jacksonville. During a time when stories and books seem to be under constant threat, we continue to believe and hope that reading is an act of resistance; that keeping our doors open is crucial to keeping minds open. 🏹❤️ #independentbookstoreday #shopsmall #shoplocal #shopsouthernoregon #rebelheartbooks

It’s the most wonderful time of the year where we all come together to tell corporate greedy billionaires to suck it because as much as they try to put us out of business, we aren’t going anywhere!! 📚 Oh, I MEAN...where we shop small, where we shop local, where we put our dollars into our neighbors and neighborhoods, knowing that by doing so, we are helping to create a world where stories, community, and people matter. 🏹❤️ Whether you are fueled by hope and inspiration, or rage and spite, we hope that you will celebrate with us on Independent Bookstore Day, this Saturday! We will have freebies for the kiddos, giveaways, exclusive indie bookstore day merch, special indie edition books, and even a chance to win a year’s worth of audiobooks from our friends @librofm 🎉🥳 (Also, Eileen did not approval this caption prior to posting, so if you find yourself offended, please direct your feedback to Noelle, who probably won’t respond. 🙃) See you soon!! #independentbookstoreday #shopsmall #shopsouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #rebelheartbooks

Shop Local. Read Local. The Local Author Fair. 🏹❤️ On April 18th, join Rebel Heart Books at the Jacksonville Public Library Community Room from 1-3pm as we feature and celebrate another round of talented local authors! We’ll have familiar faces like best-selling authors Megan Crane and Maisey Yates, as well as first time attendees like Octavio Solis, Whitney Pearl, Yvette Provosty, and over twenty others! This event has continued to grow (and frankly, burst at the seams) not only because of the talented writers, but because of the community that shows up and purchases the books that so many authors have poured their heart into. If you’ve been to the fair before, you know it’s a room full of community, creativity, and connection; it’s a room we love to be in. We hope to see you there! 📚 #localauthorfair #shopsouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #indiebookstore #shopsmall
