Fear not BoCoCa — A Bookstore Grows in Brooklyn
'Books Are Magic' to Open on Smith Street This Spring
Cobble Hill residents were devastated to hear of the news last spring that after 30 years, the Community Bookstore would be closing its doors.
The area was further saddened by the December announcement that BookCourt, a neighborhood staple since 1981, would also be shuttering.
Following both closures, Brooklyn resident and best-selling novelist Emma Straub vowed to right a wrong, to fill a void and to revive a dying breed.
