The bookstore is set to reopen Friday to hand out books after the shop announced its closure last month.
HUNTINGTON, NY — Book Revue, Huntington's iconic bookstore, plans to go out with a bang. The longtime shop announced it will reopen on Friday to dole out free books before its permanent closure.
"We are not sure yet how long these free books will be availabale but we will let you know as soon as we decide," Richard Klein, who co-founded the store in 1977, wrote on Facebook.
Book Revue attempted to contact charities and organizations to accept free books, but it didn't find much success. Residents who know of any organizations that could use the free books are encouraged to reach out to them.
