A volunteer-powered bookstore and community space, Boxcar Books, has run into financial trouble in recent months. The store, located at 408 East 6 th Street, launched a crowd funding campaign two months ago, seeking to raise as much as $7,500 to help pay rent. The campaign, hosted by Generosity.com is ongoing. And this Saturday, from 6 to 10 PM, Boxcar is holding its another fund raiser, its annual silent auction. The event is scheduled to take place at the book store. For more on the situation at Boxcar Books, WFHB Assistant News Director Sarah Vaughan spoke with a volunteer with the organization, Yolanda Dunderdale. We bring you their conversation now for today’s WFHB community report.
