Pig City Books Sedley and Emma Abercrombie, a mother-daughter duo from Lexington, have been slowly moving up to the bookstore since they introduced it as a pop-up shop and e-commerce business in 2021.
For its next stop, the bookstore moves into its own store at 16 Court Square in downtown Lexington. In January 2022, the bookstore moved into the internal rooms of Clara Jane’s store on Main Street. Pig City Books will share its new area in Court Square with any other company. It will open there on June 1.
Clara Jane’s store was a test to see if an independent bookstore was possible,” said Sedley Abercrombie. “The first few months there showed us that this would be the case. To grow, we want more area and a position to organize events. “
The new store has five rooms and measures approximately 1,400 square feet. That’s triple the area available for Clara Jane’s boutique store, he said.
Each room will have another destination. There will be rooms with youth e-books, adult fiction, local and North Carolina e-books, mid-level e-books for ages 8 to 12, and a room for special events, such as e-book club meetings or conferences.
Pigs in the City Books will also launch two e-book clubs: one for students over the ages of 8 to 12 called Mighty Kids and another for high school students called Book Ninjas.
“We did this as a reaction to the book ban at the national and local level,” he said.
The store will be open from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Tuesday to Friday and from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Saturdays. It will be open later for special occasions and club meetings.

Several appearances are already scheduled from June 9 to July 23. The front of the store is easy to see in Court Square. Look for the door painted bright pink.
