Chicago, Il

In 2017, the Libreria Giron showroom opened to the public, but their warehouse has been distributing Spanish language titles since 1985. The bookshop is Latine-owned and participates in local book fairs in Waukegan, Aurora, and the Chicago area.

La Revo Books intentionally and carefully selects new and used books for and by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, with a specialization in Latine literature. The Latine-owned and woman-owned bookshop is also a home to the works of local BIPOC makers and creators.

Julia de Burgos Bookstore is the only Spanish/English bookshop in Philadelphia. In addition to Puerto Rican literature, it specializes in books by Latine and Latin American authors, with a special focus on BIPOC, queer, and women writers.
