We are so excited to hear about Jessica Stockton Bagnulo’s new bookstore in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Check out Greenlight’s blog: http://abookstoreinbrooklyn.blogspot.com/

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the lease is finalized, the contractors are on their way, and we’ve got an opening date target for Fort Greene’s own independent bookstore! At last we can reveal the mystery location:

On June 1, Greenlight Bookstore became the official tenant of 686 Fulton Street, at the corner of South Portland — right in the heart of Fort Greene.

The space is about 2000 square feet — just right for stocking a wide variety of books in many categories, and for hosting great author readings and other events, while still feeling cozy. The funky layout has both wide open spaces and nooks and crannies, perfect for a quiet browse, for reading a picture book with a child, or for chatting with friends and neighbors over a cup of coffee from Marquet, right next door.
