Sad news from Long Island: Turn of the Corkscrew, Books and Wine, which opened in 2015 in Rockville Centre, N.Y., is closing on June 15, owners Carol Hoenig and Peggy Ziernan announced on the store's website.
"As hard as we worked these last four years to bring a bookstore/wine bar to the community, one that brought you events, workshops and a place to gather for meetings and discussions, it wasn't enough to keep us afloat," they wrote. "With that said, we are sad to announce that we will be closing."
During the clearance sale, most items will be discounted 50%-75%. In addition, the store has "beautiful, sturdy book cases that need a home" as well as books, equipment, furniture, refrigerators and a convection oven. For more information, call 516-764-6000 or e-mail.
In its first years, Turn of the Corkscrew had to contend with road and other construction that affected access to the store. In 2016, Hoenig and Ziernan launched a GoFundMe campaign, and last July, they put the store up for sale.
Hoenig and Ziernan are both Borders bookstore alumni. Hoenig is continuing as a publishing consultant, helping with book writing, editing and navigating the publishing industry. She may be reached via e-mail.
