The GoFundMe campaign noted that the Oakleys "serve everyone from introverts and misfits to the outgoing, over-the-top personality. If you can't make it in, we invite you to share our posts with others, we know there are booklovers out there that don't know about us! Thank you, Jackson, we are truly blessed to be part of this town!"

We have passed the 10% mark of the Gofundme that some of our customers have set up, we cannot express how much we appreciate the generosity of our community. But customers have rallied, creating a GoFundMe campaign last week to keep the store open.Īlready the campaign has raised more than $2,200, prompting the store to post on Facebook, "These last eight days have been the most amazing of our lives, the outpouring of love and support has been awesome. Recently Mark and Nancy Oakley, owners of the Book Cottage, Jackson, Mich., which sells new, used, rare and collectible books as well as antiques and local art, announced they would have to close because of the effects of the pandemic, having to move twice in the last two years and slow sales this year.
