Congratulations to the Little Read Book, Wauwatosa, Wis., which celebrated its 30th anniversary this week. Wauwatosa Now reported that owner Linda Burg's business has expanded over the decades, with the first four years spent at a much smaller location before moving to the current, much larger space on State Street.
"We were once selling to young adults and their families," Burg said. "Now those young adults we once sold to have grandchildren we sell to. I've been so busy day-to-day, but if I stop and think about it, staying in business for 30 years is an accomplishment."
She added: "We are an alternative to big superstores. We are hands-on as far as reading goes. Someone can walk in and ask questions, and if one of us doesn't have the answer, then they go to one of the other booksellers because we all don't read the same things. If there is something not on the shelf that someone came in for, we will break our backs to get it for you."
