Moe’s Books is celebrating its 50th birthday on July 11. There will be a DJ, cake, balloons, Hula dancers and more.

Moe’s (seen above in the 1960s) was founded in 1959 by Moe Moskowitz and his then-wife Barbara. The original storefront was a small shop on Shattuck, north of University Avenue. A few years later Moe’s moved to Telegraph Avenue — just in time for the Free Speech Movement.
