Amy Cooper of Barn Owl Books Wins Smith Scholarship

Amy Cooper

Congratulations to Amy Cooper, owner of The Barn Owl Books and Gifts, McCall, Idaho, who has won this year's special "Left of Center, Right of the Range" Brad Smith Memorial Scholarship, created "to help a free thinking bookseller from the eastern half of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association member region."

Brad Smith, who died in May of cancer, was co-owner of Paulina Springs Books, Sisters, Ore., and a PNBA board member known for, PNBA said, "his fierce passion for valuable connection in everything he did."

In her application, Cooper wrote: "I've never worked harder, earned less, or felt more connected to my community in my entire career."
