Sisters Samantha Cail and Sheila Cail have opened HyperText Café and Books in Lowell, Mass., and a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring many city officials took place last Thursday, the Lowell Sun reported. At the event, city councilor John Leahy, a member of the council's downtown redevelopment subcommittee, called the bookstore cafe important for broadening the types of businesses in the center of the city.
Samantha Cail has waitressing and other retail experience, while Sheila Cail is a former business owner who writes fiction.
HyperText, which aims to be a "comfortable neighborhood spot," already has scheduled several book and poetry readings, and the sisters plan to start their own book club and host others. The bookshelves at HyperText are on wheels so that they can be easily moved to accommodate events.
HyperText Café and Books is located at 107 Merrimack St., Lowell, Mass. 01852; 978-677-7191.
