Pyramid Books in Salem, Mass., will close at the end of the month, MASSLive reported.
"As we enter the new year, after nearly 45 remarkable years in business, we have made the difficult decision to close Pyramid Books, with our final day of operation being Saturday, January 31st," read an announcement posted on social media. "We extend our sincerest gratitude to our valued customers, both near and far, for their loyalty and business."
On January 2, Pyramid Books began a 40% off sale on all items in-store that will continue until January 31.
Founded in the 1980s, Pyramid Books is an African American-owned bookstore focused on literature from the African diaspora for all ages. Along with books, the store sells things like crystals, candles, incense, and jewelry, and customers can get Tarot readings.
While the physical store at 214 Derby St. will close, the store's owners plan to explore online selling going forward.
