In April, Newtonville Books in Newtonville, Mass., is moving to Newton Centre. The store's main reason: "There is a wide swath of book lovers who can't attend our events because we're not off the subway system. For this reason, we decided to move to Newton Centre."
With the move to Langley Place, the store will no longer carry used books and will expand the children's section.
Owner Mary Cotton wrote to customers that although "the bookstore's exit from Newtonville leaves a void in the village... it's our intention to keep growing the store and servicing the Newton community with a terrific selection of books and literary programming."
Cotton bought Newtonville Books five years ago from Tim Huggins, who founded the store in 1998.
