The Women’s National Book Association was founded in 1917 by female booksellers who weren’t allowed in the men’s organizations. Nearly 100 years later, the WNBA is still supporting women in the book industry through literary events, networking, literacy projects, workshops, open mic nights, book clubs, and many other entertaining programs throughout the season!
Although there are many bookstores throughout New York City, POC owned bookstores are rare. Even rarer is a POC bookstore that caters to children. Grandma’s Place is both.
