Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Boston, Mass., is expanding in conjunction with its 40th anniversary.
It has taken over the entire second floor of its building at 338 Newbury St., with the front half of the second floor offering additional space for new books, remainders, and a variety of gifts and games. The back half of the second floor is now the Stacks, an event space that will host author readings and book clubs as well as private events.
On October 5, Trident will celebrate its 40th anniversary with an event held in the Stacks called Past, Present & Future. The event will include refreshments, displays of artifacts and memorabilia from throughout Trident's history, complimentary psychic readings, free books and other prizes, 40th anniversary merchandise, and special offers on booking the Stacks.
"We are excited to unveil this new chapter for the Trident," said co-owner Courtney Flynn. "Our goal has always been to create a space where people feel welcome to explore, connect, and celebrate. This expansion allows us to offer even more to our community while honoring the unique legacy that the Trident has built over the past 40 years."
The bookstore was founded in 1984 by Bernie and Gail Flynn.
