Sold! The Ivy Bookshop Sells to NY Couple

The Ivy Bookshop has new owners! Husband and wife team Ed and Ann Berlin will move down from the New York area to run the beloved North Baltimore neighborhood bookstore in the Lake Falls Village shopping center.

The couple, who have friends in town, have been to the store when in Baltimore to visit. When shop owner and founder Darielle Linehan sent out an email last summer alerting loyal customers of her plans to retire, the Berlins contacted her. Ann Berlin has experience in publishing.

The change of ownership will take place sometime in January, Linehan said.
