HARLEM—Despite
East Harlem's rich arts culture, there's no place to buy a book.
It's
something that has bothered Aurora Anaya-Cerda since she moved to El Barrio
several years ago from East Los Angeles.
…
After five
years of planning, including studying the independent book sales model and
interning at other independent book sellers, Anaya-Cerda is in the final week
of trying to raise $40,000 to launch La Casa Azul, an independent book store
she plans to open.
"Every
time I travel, my first stop is at a bookstore. I talk to them about what
works and what doesn't work," she said.
…
A recent retail survey conducted by Community board 11 found that more
East Harlem residents would shop in the neighborhood if the goods and services
they wanted were there. Among the types of stores residents said they wanted
were bookstores.
