A used bookstore may be opening later this year on Mount Vernon Avenue.
Don Alexander, a resident, posted on the web platform Nextdoor that he is collecting used books and plans to open a used bookstore at 1712 Mt Vernon Ave., which is near Alexandria Hyundai and R&B Plumbing.
"The store will be owned by The Company of Books, Inc., a Virginia not-for-profit company currently awaiting State approval," Alexander wrote on Nextdoor.
He is currently collecting books at 51 E. WindsorAve.
"Please, please, if you have unwanted good books of almost any kind or quantity, drop them at the designated area on the front porch of 51 E. Windsor Ave. No textbooks or paperback romances or moldy or heavily underlined books," he wrote.
More information will be available in the coming weeks.
