Little City Books in Hoboken, N.J., is closing its pop-up location inside Bwè Kafe in uptown Hoboken today. Located about a mile north of the bookstore's original location in downtown Hoboken, the 350-square-foot pop-up has been in business since January 2020.
In an Instagram post announcing the closure, Little City Books explained that while they "love and adore" the team at Bwè Kafe, they are closing the pop-up to focus on the downtown store, which is "busy busy busy." The pop-up's inventory was 30% off from February 24 until today.
The original Little City Books location opened on Independent Bookstore Day 2015 with the help of a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $23,000. A little over a year later, the 1,200-square-foot store expanded into an adjacent 800-square-foot storefront, which became the shop's children's annex.
