Customers browse the shelves at the new Porter Square Books on Dec. 7.

In November, Porter Square Books celebrated the official grand reopening of its Cambridge location — an expanded space 1,000 feet away from the previous shop. At 1815 Massachusetts Ave., the new location inside the Lesley University mall enabled the independent bookstore to expand its shelf capacity and offer more cafe seating. Page & Leaf Cafe makes its debut in the new space. Take a look inside the expanded world of Porter Square Books.
