The bookseller posted on social media: "We just signed a lease on this lovely space at 1958 Colorado Blvd., and hope to open this fall. It's nearly 6,000 square feet and will have room for a cafe. Don't worry--we're not leaving Los Feliz. This location will be in addition to our current home, where we'll be celebrating 30 years this fall."
Mary Williams, Skylight's general manager, explained: "We're so excited to be expanding to Eagle Rock. The response since we announced this morning has been overwhelming in the best way--we can't wait to open and meet our new community. It's a great neighborhood--like in Los Feliz, there are a lot of independent shops and restaurants already there, so we know the locals support and value their small businesses.
"And most of all, I think that what we have to offer, curation-wise, is a good fit for Eagle Rock. We'll be bringing all the literary fiction, great nonfiction, graphic novels, and books on the arts that people are coming to us for in Los Feliz. And with the extra space, we're going to increase our kids' book selection, too, since there are so many young families in the area."
