Hygge House Books in Westborough, Mass., has relocated to a new space within the Boroughs Collective at 21 East Main St., Community Advocate reported.
Store owner Beth Orsini, who moved Hygge House Books to its new space earlier this month, held a grand-opening celebration on Independent Bookstore Day that featured an in-store scavenger hunt and a food truck. The Boroughs Collective houses close to two dozen vendors selling everything from handmade soap to antiques, and the space has comfy chairs and a bean bag. The building was previously a bank.
Orsini, a former middle-school teacher, founded Hygge House Books in 2020 as a pop-up shop. Originally a side hustle, Hygge House has grown to be Orsini's full-time business and includes partnering with schools for book fairs, building little free libraries in book deserts, and now a bricks-and-mortar location.
