The for-profit, feminist bookstore Charis Books in Little Five Points has been teasing a big announcement for about a week now.  Daren Wang forwards this note from the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance …

Charis Books & More, the for-profit feminist bookstore, and Charis Circle, the store’s nonprofit arm, Atlanta, Ga., are planning to move into a larger location within a year, the Georgia Voice reported. The new location will be called the Charis Feminist Center and may be in Decatur, “where many of Charis’ customers live.” The new center will have a coffee shop, share space with other nonprofits and offer more programming.

To make the move, Charis is putting its current store up for sale and has begun a $1 million capital campaign, whose co-chair is the same woman who “gave Linda Bryant the seed money to open Charis 37 years ago.”

“We’re excited for change and to be in a space that is more accessible to more people,” Charis Books & More co-owner Angela Gabriel told the Voice. “We’ve been discussing and dreaming about this for 10 to 15 years and finally we have the right people on board to make that happen.”

The full article in the GA Voice states that Charis hopes to open its new location to the public about a year from now.
