Wyrd, a bookstore in Edgewater, Md., that held its soft opening last month, will host a grand opening celebration this Saturday, December 2. The shop, located at 135 Mitchells Chance Rd. in the Main Street at South River Colony shopping center, sells new and used books as well as gifts, and features an on-site cafe serving tea and coffee, the Edgewater-Davidsonville Patch reported.
Owner AmyLea Murphy said the bookshop's name is an old English term meaning fate or destiny. In a Facebook post, Main Street at South River Colony noted that Murphy "fosters a love for books and community, aiming to create a gathering place for meaningful connections and shared experiences."
The bookshop's website notes: "Our purpose at Wyrd is to build bridges between hearts and kindle the light of genuine connections. We celebrate the instances when time slows down, allowing us to truly savor the beauty of this remarkable journey we all share. The ordinary becomes extraordinary in these moments, and it is in their embrace that we find our truest selves."
