The Cooper Square Committee sent out an update on St. Mark's Books with this important note: "
We believe that Cooper Union is stonewalling this issue, hoping our community will forget about the bookstore. We need you to
send this petition out to all of your friends and family today. Help us reach 50,000 signatures by the middle of October."
Check out Karen Lillis' "
Bagging the Beats at Midnight," a bookstore memoir by a former employee of St Mark’s Bookshop.
