Barrio Logan is a place with a strong pulse that has been kept beating by generations of Chicanx & Indigenous people.
We are grateful to be part of a community that takes care of one another and values Art, storytelling and resistance as strongly as we do. Collectively we are invested in pouring in resource, love, guidance, time into our youth and the next generations.

Billi Books
gender fluid/Polydactyl
just like a good book with a happy ending, Billi walked into our lives and made our fairytale of a queer bookstore come to life.
Billi loves pets, their " two cool moms", and taking photos (we think they may have Leo in their chart). AND they don't take being a tuxedo too seriously, in fact, if they are not sleeping you will definitely find them playing!

Billi loves sharing & showing off her extra toes.
Billi's Favorite Genre
Cat Narratives & Graphic Novels

Moo loves to explore Barrio Logan, catch bugs, snuggle while one is trying to work on the Crying Couch, and bug his sister Billi. You can find Moo in the shop window’s hammock or stomping on the piano.
