After two years as part of Small Town Coffee Co., in Kapaa on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Blue House Booksellers has moved into its own 720-square-foot space on the second floor of the Dragon Building in Old Kapaa Town, the Garden Island reported.
Founded by Anni Caporuscio in 2011 after Borders closed, Blue House is the only bookstore on the east side of Kauai. (Caporuscio is also co-owner of Small Town Coffee.) Selling new and used titles, the store focuses on new releases, Kauai authors, guidebooks, beach reads, classics, greeting cards, children's books and art supplies. Caporuscio said, "Our two biggest sections are contemporary fiction and a massive kids selection."
The store is also beginning events, including a weekly children's reading hour, several writing classes, and has plans for an art class and adult reading hours.
Blue House Booksellers is located at 4504 Kukui Street, Suite 7, Kapaa, Hawaii 96746; 808-822-4111.
