About
Founded in 2017 by St. Petersburg native Lorielle Hollaway, Cultured Books is a Black-owned children’s bookstore built around multicultural literature that shows Black and brown kids as the heroes of their own stories. It began as a pop-up at 833 22nd Street South on the Deuces and now runs alongside the Cultured Books Literacy Foundation, hosting story times, author talks, book clubs and the annual St. Pete Reads Lit Fest.
