In just under two years’ time, First Light Books has become a bustling hub of Hyde Park. Part of the reimagined former U.S. Post Office space on Speedway, the tidy shop & cafe boasts a good selection of books, bolstered by their staff’s thoughtful recommendations, and regular readings with local and touring authors. But this is also a spot for lingering – in the welcoming kids’ section, perfect for the family-friendly ’hood, or at a table out front, enjoying a cortado with the newest Tayari Jones novel and, naturally, the company of your fellow book lovers.
