Congratulations to Janeen Solberg, who has been named Steffie Walker Bookseller of the Year by the Romance Writers of America. She is manager of Turn the Page Bookstore, Boonsboro, Md., owned by Bruce Wilder, whose wife is Nora Roberts. RWA wrote in part that Solberg "arranges all of the store's events and hosts its book club. Solberg also arranges romance-friendly book signings and is known to enthusiastically recommend romances to the store's patrons." She receives the award at the RWA conference July 27 in Anaheim, Calif.
"I'm incredibly proud to receive this award and represent Turn the Page Bookstore; not only Nora and Bruce, but our staff," Solberg told the Herald Mail. "We're a small team. But we have a big love of romance. We value the industry and the bricks and mortar stores that are putting books into the hands of readers and providing a sense of community in our neighborhood--be it the streets of Boonsboro or our friends around the globe."
