Palabras Bilingual Bookstore, which sells new and used English- and Spanish-language titles, has reopened in its new home in Phoenix, Ariz., AZCentral reported.
The bookstore, which owner Rosaura "Chawa" Magaña opened back in 2015, now shares a space in downtown Phoenix with Wasted Ink Zine Distro, with the goal of becoming a "local literary hub and community space" focused on representation, equity and mutual support. Wasted Ink is owned by Charissa Lucille and stocks hundreds of zines on a variety of topics.
Their neighbors at 906 W. Roosevelt St. include a store specializing in Risograph prints and zines, a bakery and a publishing press with a focus on indigenous writers.
In December, both Wasted Ink and Palabras announced they would be moving, later revealing that they were moving together.
