** Celebrate Black History Month with us
------------------------------------------------------------

We're honored to celebrate the positive contributions of our African American residents by dedicating the month of February to Black culture and heritage.

During Black History Month, you’re invited to participate in a series of enriching events, including a community celebration, an art exhibition, and a “Meet the Artists” reception. The events will highlight this year’s Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” which showcases the significant role Black Americans have played in shaping the workforce, from their contributions to the labor movement to their innovations in various industries.

** Nothing says “I love you” like buying local
------------------------------------------------------------

For all the book girlies out there living in your best romantasy/enemies-to-lovers era, consider The New Romantics bookstore your new home. The New Romantics is owned by Jane Rodriquez, an entrepreneur, avid reader, hopeless romantic and Swiftie (queue “New Romantics” from 1989 album) who has always known opening a romance bookstore was her ultimate dream. Jane is originally from Miami, and moved to California to attend college, but returned to Florida in 2020 during the pandemic and began her own remote business helping other women launch their own business ideas. Simultaneously, Jane worked on building The New Romantics brand, online shop and following on social media, so when the time was right to open a brick-and-mortar bookstore, she would already have an established business and community.

Like many, the isolation of the pandemic led Jane to look for opportunities to leave the house and reconnect. To do this, she took a job at Gideon’s Cookies inside of East End Market, which positioned her across the street from the then Joybird Books independent bookstore. When the owners of Joybird Books decided to close, Jane knew The New Romantics’ time had come. The New Romantics has only been open two months but is already attracting book lovers from across central Florida through its door.
