Ever since March 2020, GM Lisa Swayze and the Executive Board have been energetically exploring the idea of transforming the legal structure of the cooperative to put the bookstore on more stable financial footing. Sometimes this feels like a major step and we all feel quite daunted. This is more than a tweak to our existing structure, like the idea of simply adding an annual membership program that I discussed a few months back. But other times, this feels merely like a back-end process that need not affect our community’s experience of the bookstore and our events. This is a change that will enable us to remain the same—we hope.
