King Street’s Blue Bicycle Books recently completed an extensive renovation, which should keep the store in tip-top shape for years to come.

According to a press release, the following changes were made:

• Installed new carpeting, shelving, ceilings, and lighting,
• Built a new point of sale area
• Removed the drop ceiling in the front room
• The walls in the front area were removed so the space now seats more than 50 people for readings and talks
• Fluorescent lighting was replaced with track lighting and modern pendants
• The children’s room doubled in size
• The food section was expanded
• A new hand-crafted wood counter was installed
• Exposed brick was added
• A new sound system was installed
• A display of 23 framed vintage bicycle posters were added
  

Blue Bicycle Books is located at 420 King Street in a brick building that was around 1940. It previously served as a print shop, ophthalmologist’s office, and a deli before the book store opened in 1995.
