CoSee Corner | Tri-state Locals | Join Us 🙏
CoSee is launching a new way for local readers to connect — starting with the books they already love and the stories they’ve been waiting to find. We’re calling it CoSee Corner. 🎉

We’re kicking things off with a small digital pilot in January 2026, designed to bring together book lovers across the tri-state area through showcasing a few of their favorite reads. This is the first in a series of experiments that will evolve how readers:
Share,
Discover, and
Engage
with books in their communities.
Each phase builds toward something bigger — and after every pilot, we’ll host an IRL community event to bring the experience to life.
We’re looking for 50+ tri-state area readers to help shape this journey.
If you’re curious, passionate about books, and excited to be part of something new, we’d love to have you.
🖋️ Sign up now to join the first wave + pass it along to someone or someones else! We promise, it won’t take more than 2 minutes to fill out.
With questions, please e-mail [email protected].
Keep Your Stuff Cool | Book Care 👐📖
Whether you're a collector, casual reader, or just someone who loves their shelves looking sharp — caring for your books is part of the joy of owning them.
Off the shelf? Lay them flat and keep them closed.
On the shelf? Keep them upright — no Leaning Tower of Pisa!
Sunlight? Avoid it. Direct sun can fade covers and weaken bindings.
Dust? Gently brush it off with a soft cloth or brush every now and then.
Loaning a book? Make sure your reader knows it’s a treasure, not a coaster.

If you're really serious — like the main character in Netflix’s You — you might know that ideal book storage means:
65°F,
40% humidity,
No sunlight.
Too moist? Pages can mildew. Too dry? They get brittle. But don’t worry — you don’t need a climate-controlled vault to show your books some love.
Until next time… 🤗
Stay safe for Halloween and have fun!
