“We’re experimenting with later hours on Fridays, and we’re open to expanding to later hours on other days if there’s community interest,” owner Jill Lang said. “We’re constantly getting new books, and we’ve joined the 21st century with a website where you can order books for pickup at the store www.samizdatbookstore.com. Please give us 1-2 weeks to get them in from the publishers.”
Hours from June 1 to June 24 are as follows:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Wednesday: 2 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Thursday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Samizdat also offers games from their mainstream supplier, Asmodee, such as Dixit, Catan Starfarers, and Memoir 44, as well as from their new tabletop role-playing game supplier, Indie Press Revolution (Thirsty Sword Lesbians, The Very Good Dogs of Chernobyl, Ryuutama, etc).
“Demo games are available for anyone to borrow and play in-store. Come on by, try a boba tea drink and play a new game or read a book under the portal,” Lang said.
