The Headless Librarian in Tyler, Tex., will be moving into a new space as early as this summer, KETK reported. Since its opening in 2023, the Headless Librarian has occupied a booth inside of Blue Bird Antique Mall. Its new home will be a 1,957-square-foot storefront at 235 S. Broadway Ave #120 in downtown Tyler. The extra room will allow owner Katy Perez to significantly expand the book selection and add a tea bar and host events such as book clubs and author readings.
"I want the Headless Librarian to be a place where people feel inspired, included, and at home," Perez told KETK. "Downtown Tyler feels like the perfect place for this next chapter and I'm incredibly grateful for the support that's helped make it possible."
Perez hopes construction and renovation work will be done by the end of the summer.
"When I started looking for a new space, I was very intentional," she said. "I didn't want just any building. I wanted the right fit, the right partnership, and a place that truly aligned with what I'm trying to create."
