Akimbo Bookshop

Rochester, NY

Woman-Owned

Akimbo Books is in Rochester's Neighborhood of the Arts at 714 University Avenue. We're geared toward small presses and contemporary literature.

It is an inclusive space for folks to learn, connect, and celebrate all genres of art.

In January 2023, the shop suffered from a fire that resulted in a total loss. Every tangible item was deemed unsalvageable. But thanks to the immense generosity and unwavering support of the Rochester community (and the bookselling community coast-to-coast), Akimbo was able to open its second location, here at 714 University Avenue, on its one-year anniversary in 2023.

This year (2024) we started our sister organization, Unabridged Literary Arts (www.unabridgedroc.org) โ€“โ€“ย a literary arts nonprofit organization focused on human rights.
