Ginger Kautz has been named the new general manager at Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, N.C., effective June 11. Kautz will be the fourth general manager in the bookstore's nearly 38-year history and succeeds Jason Jefferies, who is leaving to become general manager of Explore Booksellers in Aspen, Colo. Kautz joined Quail Ridge Books in 2018, most recently serving as buyer and assistant general manager.
"Quail Ridge Books is deeply rooted in Raleigh, and I look forward to growing our connection with the literary community in an environment where booksellers, authors, and readers flourish," Kautz said.
Owner Lisa Poole noted: "Since Ginger began at Quail Ridge Books, she has excelled in bookselling and being a team leader. We are thrilled Ginger is becoming our new general manager. Ginger, you rock!"
An avid reader of fiction and popular science, Kautz previously worked in B. Dalton and Barnes & Noble bookstores in a variety of roles, from bookseller through assistant store manager.
