The bookstore closed last month and will move to 2607 S. First St., Austin, with an expected opening later this year, said media representative Emily Bruce. A groundbreaking for the new location took place Jan. 13.
In the interim, a temporary Half Price Books location will open in the same lot as the original building later this month at 3005 S. Lamar Blvd., Suite D-11, Austin, where customers can continue to buy and sell books, records, DVDs and other items.
