UPDATE! – I just added some pictures I took today of the store, check the bottom of the post to see what the kids section looks like!
If you haven’t heard there’s exciting news for us Fort Greene / Clinton Hill residents – we’re finally getting a bookstore – and one that promises to have a decent Children’s Book section too! The store is called Greenlight Bookstore, and is located at 686 Fulton Street (on the corner of South Portland) in Fort Greene. Next Saturday (10/24) they are having an story time for kids of all ages at 10:00 AM.
Library Lion
Brooklynite Michelle Knudsen, author of the bestseller Library Lion, will read from her picture book, and will then sign copies of her books, which Greenlight Bookstore will have for sale. Book-related treats and prizes will be handed out to the kids. Of course, this event is FREE! I think it’s a great sign that the opening festivities for Greenlight Bookstore includes a children’s event – hopefully it will be a wonderful resource for mommies, babies, and kids alike!
Update: My hubby, Cameron and I stopped in the bookstore today after lunch at 67 Burger and before a birthday party. It was so nice! Really light, airy, and open. And the Children’s section was GREAT! It had books for all ages of kids. I am really excited to have it in the neighborhood. I took a few pictures of the kids section to share with you all
