Ever since its inception in 1971, Community Bookstore has been an iconic part of Park Slope where you can find books belonging to any genre. Also found here are a cafe and reading area in the backyard, which is surrounded by lush green plants. Other than being a bookstore, Community Bookstore is also home to a rabbit, Pogona, turtle and a cat, which is also regarded as the store's unofficial ambassador. However, the major highlight here are the literary events under which activities such as discussions and readings are undertaken.
Established in 2008, Greenlight was formed with the efforts of Fort Greene Association to address to the lack of a quality bookstore in the Fort Green area.
