Midway, St. Paul
Black Garnet Books
Black Garnet Books
Minnesota's first Black-owned bookstore, on University Avenue in the Midway, centers writers of color and runs readings, book clubs, and its recurring Lit and Libations book fair. The events feel like community gatherings as much as bookstore programming, with collaborations around town and a clear point of view. A vital stop for anyone who cares about who gets to tell stories.
