Semicolon Bookstore opens second store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile
CHICAGO â A Chicago bookstore dedicated to fighting the literacy gap starts a new chapter with a second store on the Magnificent Mile .The Semicolon Bookstore was previously the only black-woman-owned bookstore in the city but has since become a 501 non-profit organization. This means the new store is now more than a local business on a big stage; it's also a way for us book-lovers to give back.
It's a curated selection surrounded by reading nooks and plush sofas that coax readers to turn the page for just one more chapter.'Semicolon loves being a third space in the city of Chicago. So we are super excited to have people in,' Moore said. And all five thousand square feet of it came together in about two months.'The Mag Mile association came to us in May and asked how quickly we could make it happen, and we made it happen,' Moore said.
