The POP-HOP Books & Print is an independent bookstore and community event space located at 5002 York Boulevard in Los Angeles, open Thursday through Sunday from 11am to 7pm. The shop carries a wide selection of book titles, rare books and special finds, gift certificates, and print materials, while also hosting art exhibitions in its space. Beyond retail, The POP-HOP functions as a cooperative hub for the local creative community, regularly hosting workshops and gatherings such as figure drawing sessions, sewing workshops, mahjong nights, printmaking classes, and music performances. The shop partners with community organizations including the Radical Sewing Club, It Figures Drawing Club, and Creative Girls Co to bring diverse programming to its space. The POP-HOP positions itself around grassroots creativity and neighborhood support, promoting accessible, sliding-scale pricing for its events so that community programming remains open to people at different income levels. The business has also used its platform to advocate for local businesses facing displacement pressures in its Highland Park-area neighborhood. As a bookstore, The POP-HOP emphasizes analog and handmade practices as an alternative to mass-produced content, curating its shelves and print offerings around that ethos.
