"Olivia Nightingale is on a mission. She’s going to open Utah’s first Black bookstore. [S]he has gone “book hopping” all over Utah at indie bookstores. As such, she knows that Utah has an appetite for niche bookstores… Those stores have become a third space, a social environment outside of work and home, for many book lovers."

— Palak Jayswal

"Meet Olivia Nightingale of CROWNE BOOKS, who aims to bring the first brick-and-mortar Black-owned bookstore to the state of Utah. You can support Olivia in getting a brick-and-mortar location by supporting the shop's GoFundMe."

"As of June 2026, Utah is the U.S. State with the highest number of banned books—35. Liz Pitts of the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, Raelle Westwind of The Legendarium and Olivia Nightingale of Crowne Books share a new campaign to collect banned books to give away at community events throughout the state. The first event took place at SLC Pride over the weekend. Find out how you can get involved."
