Following Nancy Cressman’s thirteen years of store ownership, Rena J. Mosteirin recently took the helm of Left Bank Books and hopes to steer the ship through the rough waters of the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
Please Note: Due to the economic damage of the crisis, Left Bank Books is no longer buying books but we welcome donations.
