Face it, Tattered Cover is likely your go-to bookstore. Most Denverites share fond memories of hours-long book-browsing at the company’s former LoDo location, often leaving with a newly discovered author or a shared bond with like-minded bibliophiles. Now, Tattered Cover aims to inspire that same lit-loving nostalgia with its kid-centric bookstore, which opened this past Saturday, June 26 at Stanley Marketplace.
The comparatively smaller, 1,400-square-foot space focuses on books for children ages zero to 13, in addition to a small selection of parenting books. “I think there’s a gap between people who are younger than me who haven’t quite had the seismic sort of opportunities at Tattered Cover,” says CEO Kwame Spearman. “This is an opportunity to really change that.”
