MODERN TIMES IS NOW OPEN ON 24th STREET!

Modern Times logo

Modern Times Bookstore Collective is happy to announce our re-opening at 2919 24th Street on June 1st! We have been setting up at our new location for the month of May, and are very excited to share our new space with the book-loving community! We are now located on 24th Street (between Florida and Alabama), sharing a space with Galeria Paloma in the old China Books/Live Fit Gym location. Our new store is located half a block east of Harrison, near El Tecolote, Precita Eyes, Brava Women's Theater, La Victoria, Wonderland SF, and L's Cafe, and more! The actual space is a little smaller, but we will continue to have a wide range of new and used books, as well as many community events such as the Spanish Book Club. Please come by, enjoy our books and events, and help us celebrate our new location!
 
Modern Times has been a Mission district-based, collectively-run bookstore since 1971. Our goal is to be a community resource for the neighborhood, as well as for Bay Area radicals and progressives. At our new location, we have the same selection of English and Spanish books, as well as (but limited to) a large fiction and poetry selection, children's books, political and academic titles, resources for activists and the radical/progressive communities, queer and sex books, small press and independent publishers, local author consignments, California and travel books, gardening and cookbooks, and much more! Additionally, we have a membership program in which all members receive 10% off new titles and bigger discounts at our yearly member sales.
 
Through the month of June, we'll still be setting up some and ordering more books, so please bear with us. We'll also be CLOSED June 7, 8, and 14th to finish doing some physical work in the space. We'd be happy to take your suggestions on titles you'd like us to stock. We are also happy to special order any book you're looking for! Please check our website for upcoming events, and stop by and say hello to our new space!

We'd like to thank all our wonderful members, customers, and volunteers, as well as Dog-eared Books, Borderland Books and Cafe, 826 Valencia, our fellow worker-coop businesses of NOBAWC, and everyone who helped us move books and shelves for all their support in making our transition possible!

Love and movement,
