Roundabout Books, a new bookstore and café in Bend, Ore., will launch October 31 with a Halloween Open House event at its NorthWest Crossing location, the Source Weekly reported, adding that a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony has been scheduled for November 8.
"I've wanted to become more involved in the community for some time and I see so much potential in NorthWest Crossing as there are no bookstores on this side of town," said owner Cassie Clemans. "With Roundabout Books I hope to create a place that is comfortable and welcoming where people can gather, while filling my dream of owning a bookstore."
Roundabout Books "will offer a selection of best sellers, literature, nonfiction and other genres, along with young adult and children's books. A few literary themed gifts will also be for sale. The small café includes comfortable seating, a full espresso bar, wine, beer and light fare for patrons," the Source Weekly wrote.
