In January, longtime general manager and co-owner of Skylight Books, Kerry Slattery, will hand off the general manager role of the Los Angeles bookstore to Mary Williams. Slattery will serve as an adviser in the transition, and then continue on as managing partner of Skylight Books, LLC, and as owner of the store.

Williams has been at Skylight for six years, most recently in the role of events manager. She currently serves as the immediate past president of the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association, and has been on that board for four years.
