Good news, bibliophiles: The Book Thing will reopen its physical location in the Abell neighborhood next week, according to the book warehouse’s Facebook page.

The site, known for housing hundreds of free books for the taking on Vineyard Lane, will open Saturday, after being closed since last March due to a devastating fire.

Russell Wattenberg, The Book Thing founder, told The Baltimore Sun in August that the warehouse looks “the same, but better," with a working public bathroom that’s handicap-accessible, well-lit rooms, a water fountain and more organized space so that traffic flows better.

The Book Thing is not accepting books before the opening, according to the post.

Wattenberg said in August he has plans to move about 200,000 books into the space.
