Storytime Bookshop, which opened in November 2024 at 309 W. Kennewick Ave. in downtown Kennewick, Wash., has relocated to a larger space at 107 W. Kennewick Ave., the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business reported.
"We outgrew our current space," said owner Lorelei Kennedy. "We're hoping the move will allow people to do more in-person holiday shopping."
Storytime primarily sells used books for children and adults, in English and Spanish, as well as handmade bookmarks, gifts and other items. It also hosts KeenEye, the photography business of Kennedy's partner, Jason Keene. Kennedy, who has a background in theater and teaching, provides play-based activities at the bookstore to draw more young people into reading. The shop also holds classes for adults in public speaking, storytelling, and sewing.
"The first year has gone really well," she said.
Storytime's new storefront will provide 1,000 more square feet of space and the move was made ahead of the holiday shopping season so the store could serve more customers.
