Park Slope's Community Bookstore is adding what it calls a "second outpost," Terrace Books, at 242 Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn, N.Y. The new shop, which "will be a (mostly) used bookstore," is replacing Babbo's Books. A grand opening party is being planned for June.
In addition to its used inventory, Terrace Books will offer "quick and easy delivery of new titles from Community Bookstore by bicycle," according to the shop's website, which noted that the change has occurred because Babbo's owner Leonora Stein "was ready to move on to other things and we wanted to make sure a bookstore stayed in Windsor Terrace."
Over the past few months, several bookstores in Brooklyn have opened (Powerhouse) or are about to open (WORD) new branches; Bookcourt is fundraising for a new store.
