Sleepy Cat Books

I want to be able to return years from now, and reminisce on my years in Berkeley. I want to walk through Moe’s, Rasputin’s and every other store I’ve stepped foot in, and remember the awe I felt in my twenties being in that exact spot.

No matter what your destressing habits typically look like, here are some things you can do to take a break during dead week!

Saturday marked a joyous occasion for many of Berkeley’s independent bookstores – the celebration of Independent Bookstore Day. 

Here are some of the Clog’s favorite bookstores around Berkeley. We hope you’ll find yourself making plans to visit these local gems soon!

Despite the rising influence of corporate businesses, Berkeley remains a vibrant place of rich culture and history — a place with character encapsulated by the still-flourishing independent bookstore scene.
