Skylight Books Expands to Eagle Rock: A New Chapter in L.A.'s Literary Scene
Skylight Books, a beloved bookstore in the Los Feliz neighborhood, is expanding with a new location in Eagle Rock. The new store, set to open this fall at 1958 Colorado Blvd., will offer nearly 6,000 square feet of space and include a cafe. Despite the expansion, the original Los Feliz location will remain open and celebrate its 30th anniversary this fall.
Skylight Books in Los Feliz has become a cultural hotspot on L.A.'s east side, regularly hosting author events and book discussions. The new Eagle Rock location aims to replicate this success, with plans to host a variety of literary events and discussions. The response to the announcement of the new store has been overwhelmingly positive, with many prominent figures in L.A.'s literary scene expressing excitement about the expansion.
The team at Skylight Books is thrilled by the enthusiastic response to the new Eagle Rock location. The larger space will allow for a cafe, as well as a beer and wine license, in addition to a wide selection of books. While there may be some differences between the two locations in terms of layout and offerings, the goal is to maintain the unique character and charm that Skylight Books is known for.
The Eagle Rock store is expected to open in late October, with plans to keep customers updated on the progress through social media and newsletters. In the meantime, Skylight Books will continue to host events and book signings, including a lineup of acclaimed authors at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The expansion to Eagle Rock represents an exciting new chapter for Skylight Books and its commitment to fostering a vibrant literary community in Los Angeles.
