Botto told Patch that plans call for her shop to close on June 27.

At that time, the business will be closed for a week to move into the new location, with hopes of re-opening on Yorkway Place after the Fourth of July weekend.

Botto said the new space is a little bigger than her current spot and includes a basement, office, and a kitchen.

"It offers a little more flexibility," she said, adding that the new space will allow for an expanded children's section.

While Botto isn't necessarily looking forward to packing up her books and moving, she is excited about this new upcoming chapter.

"We're going to bring the magic with us," Botto said.
