I enjoy the updates that Shelf Awareness provides on the independent bookseller all across the country. Today's issue commented on the 25th Birthday Celebration of one of my favorite bookstores: The Country Bookseller in Wolfeboro, NH. We spend a week at nearby Laconia each summer and I'm always happy to stop into The Country Bookseller.
From: Shelf Awareness:
Congratulations to the Country Bookseller, Wolfeboro, N.H., which celebrated its 25th anniversary yesterday. A message posted on the store's website said, "We know without a doubt, we couldn't have done it without you! From midnight Harry Potter releases to moving a whole store across town, you've been with us every step of the way. To our sales reps, our staff, our fellow businesses, and the community that has welcomed us with open arms THANK YOU!"
In addition, the Country Bookseller shared a staff favorites list, noting: "As hard as it was, we've compiled a list of our top 25 titles over the last 25 years. Stop by the store to chat with us about your favorites or find out more about ours! (Okay, there may be a few more than 25...)."
If you are near Wolfeboro this summer, be sure to stop in and congratulate The Country Bookseller for defying the odds and keeping the independent bookstore alive and well.
