January of 2004, when Third Street Books opened was rough. We had some wild snow and icy weather. My husband, brother and I spent many days painting the old space, making repairs and trying to set up a new inventory system. Shout out to Dave Franey, who spent so much time with us fixing the wiring that he is an honorary bookstore employee! Hopefully by mid-February this year, the weather will be balmy (one can dream) and we can spill out front of the shop, toasting the community, each other and the future of Third Street Books. Join us!
Congratulations to store owner Sylla McClellan and all the booksellers past and present who made this community treasure what it is.
