      Never fear! Basically Books will be reopening soon with a brand new look and a computerized inventory system! Things are a bit upside down still, but we are making great progress. Looking forward to welcoming our friends and community back into Hilo’s hometown bookstore! Reading and rocking since 1985 and onward into the new decade.  #shoplocalhawaii   #basicallybookshilo   #readmorebooks   #hawaiibooks
