| Pocket Books' second location | |
The new store will reside at 23 N. Prince St., in a space that previously housed a used bookstore called Read Rose Books, which closed last month. Jessie Callahan, Austin Carter, and Julie Ross, the owners of Pocket Books, have purchased a significant portion of Read Rose's inventory and will sell those titles along with new books and gifts.
"We're looking forward to offering downtown customers an eclectic selection of used books that reflect Pocket Books' commitment to supporting women authors, queer and trans authors, and authors of color," Callahan told LancasterOnline.
The new location is set to open on October 3.
