Boxcar Bookstore Rolls into St. Johnsbury

Boxcar Bookstore and Caboose Cafe, St. Johnsbury, Vt., opened its doors last Friday in a ceremony attended by Governor Jim Douglas and several hundred others, according to the Caledonian-Record. Located in a new building, the 3,000 sq.-ft. store stocks some 12,000 titles and is owned by Scott Beck, a history teacher at St. Johnsbury Academy, and his wife, Joelle, who will run the store. Boxcar and Caboose aims to fill the gap in service caused by the loss of Northern Lights Bookstore & Cafe last year.

The Times Argus reported that Gov. Douglas's current read is, considering his position, an extremely diplomatic title, The History of the Vermont National Guard.

The store is located at 394 Railroad St., St. Johnsbury, Vt. 05819; 802-748-3551.
