City Lit Books | A Book Lover's Bookstore | Chicago, IL

As we approach Phase 3, we are thoughtfully considering what reopening means for City Lit. While we don't feel comfortable reopening our doors for browsing at the moment, we are updating and expanding our curbside pickup services!

You can now order books for curbside pick up that are not currently in stock. This option is available over the phone (773-235-2523) within our store hours (11 AM - 3 PM) OR through the Curbside Pickup choice here on the website 24/7!

Delivery is still available when you order on the website via UPS Ground shipping.

Thank you for your continued support as we move towards a new normal. We are eager to reopen, but only when it feels safe for our staff and customers to do so. Until then, we rejoice in seeing your friendly faces curbside and at our online events! Please join us for virtual book clubs, author events, and Story Time!

Continue to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for further updates.

We believe in the power of books and are excited to provide those resources. Thanks for your support! Can't wait to see you in the store!

Monday - Friday: 11:00am - 8:00pm
Saturday: 10:00am - 7:00pm
Sunday: 10:00am - 5:00pm
