Owner Wendy Dodson and her team will carry books from local authors as well as national bestsellers, along with a variety of nonbook items like candy, games and stationery. Event plans include children's storytime sessions and author signings.
"Hummingbird Books will be a magical place where children discover a love of reading and how reading connects us to others as we search for ideas, wisdom, or just a break from reality," said Dodson, who also owns Valley Bookstore in Jackson Hole, Wyo. "The shop has also given me the opportunity to execute a vision with two exceptional, local women. They are my partners in Hummingbird Books, and I love being part of an all-female, all-star entrepreneurial team."
Dodson told Shelf Awareness that she is planning to open on April 30 with an Independent Bookstore Day celebration.
