Prairie Books & Gifts in Neb. to Close

Prairie Books & Gifts in Hastings, Neb., will be closing after 43 years in business. In a Facebook post Monday, owner Jane Tushaus wrote on behalf of her family and staff: "Attention Hastings, loyal customers, and family and friends near and far…. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of our family’s legacy and pride and joy, Prairie Books & Gifts. It has been the most incredible 43 years filled with precious memories, love, loss, friendships and hardships, but most of all, pure happiness selling books to all of you. We truly thank you for that opportunity."

Customers were invited to "come in and join us over the next several weeks to share with us your favorite memories and experiences of our bookstore. We would love to see and hear from each and every one of you.... But do not despair, this is not the end of our story, merely the ending of another chapter and we look forward to a future where independent bookstores still thrive and succeed. To be continued...."
