Vicky Irwin, owner for the past seven years, has been a champion for local writers.
The news also reports that the store will have a "retirement sale" in January.
The store is open for business as usual through December. Gift certificates will expire Jan. 31.
Here's a link to the article.
I'm hoping someone with deep pockets and a passion for books will buy the book store to keep it open.
Always sad when a good indie bookshop goes down. Hope somebody saves it!

Hi Sean,
ReplyDeleteIt really is sad.
Hi Bryan,
You should listen to Lou.
I hate to hear that, Donna, that another bookstore is closing up. The smaller ones, especially, are special places to be and I hate that they are becoming fewer and fewer. I do hope someone is able to not only save the place, but find a way to make it thrive.
ReplyDeleteJust came home from trip to check on family...found this and felt smacked! I can't get there often but liked to think it was there waiting on me for when I could!!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna--I heard the news on Saturday (I braved the snow and went). It IS sad, but I can understand Vicky's need to have "a life" and enjoy her grandbaby more frequently.
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone will step up...
So sad... I want to buy it!
