PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn (PIX11) -- A popular spot for book lovers in Brooklyn will be closing over the summer for a "much overdue renovation."
The Barnes & Noble Park Slope location at 267 Seventh Ave will close for renovations starting July 3, a spokesperson confirmed to PIX11 News. The bookstore chain plans to reopen the location by October.
"The renovation will include a design seen in our most recent store openings, including our store on Atlantic Ave. It will include an updated B&N Café," the spokesperson said.
The renovation announcement comes after rumors the popular Park Slope location may have been at risk of closing after its lease expired earlier this year. It is one of only two of the chain's locations in Brooklyn.
During the three-month-long renovation, book lovers were advised to visit the store's other location at 194 Atlantic Ave.
"You will see here our new bookstore design which is also in place in the recently renovated Barnes & Noble at Broadway and 82nd Street in Manhattan," according to a social media post from the chain.
Barnes & Noble Park Slope has been a staple in the neighborhood since it opened in 1997 especially due to its proximity to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and the John Jay Educational Campus.
Residents can stay updated on renovation and reopening details through the Barnes & Noble Park Slope social media pages.
