Madison has a new bookstore

Glad to see that Madison has a new bookstore, Lake City Books, just off of the Square. NBC15 has the story.

Madison-native Molly Fish says while opening an independent bookstore wasn’t always the plan, it was however always her dream.

Lake City Books at 107 N. Hamilton St. welcomed readers for the first time during its grand opening April 22 weekend. “The reception was amazing, it exceeded my wildest expectations to be honest,” exclaimed Fish.

One-third of the inventory and space is designated to children’s books and young adult reads. “I wanted to dedicate a really big chunk of the store to kids especially because of the location with the children’s museum, I also wanted to really focus on having a lot of used kids books...and they grow in their reading skills to quickly so I have books at every age of reading skill,” Fish added.
