The Next Chapter is coming to Huntington. When the beloved bookstore, Book Revue, left the village, Mallory Braun sprung into action, creating a plan to revive the shop. She started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $250,000 to help. The response was overwhelming and she blew through that goal. Her current fundraising stands at $257,631 from 2,216 backers.

 

What started as pop-up bookstores at various locations around the area, Braun announced recently that she has found a permanent location for her bookstore at 204 New York Avenue in Huntington.

“We are closer to (as a reference point) the corner of New York Ave and Main Street than Heckscher Park is,” The Next Chapter posted to its Instagram page. “We are right next to Stella Blue. This is a good spot - I hope you're as excited as we are.”

 

They say that the new location is only a five minutes walk from the original Book Revue location and they have a plenty of parking available. There is a lot of work to be done.

 

“It's going to be a while before we are open there,” they said. “There are permits and materials to be acquired and a lot of expensive work to be done. So, it is very important that you shop with us at our pop-ups, which we will continue to have, or online if you can't make one.”

 

The pop-ups are advertised regularly on Instagram. If you know of a Long Island business who might like to host one of their pop-ups, reach out to info@thenextchapterli.com.
