Schuler Books will host a grand reopening celebration on June 29 to introduce customers to the expanded children's and YA books section at its Ann Arbor, Mich., store. MLive reported that the bookstore spent about a year on renovations on the area that "was constructed in a space next door previously occupied by the Old Siam restaurant, which closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic."
Schuler Books marketing coordinator Alana Haley described the children's/YA section prior to renovations, which gives the bookstore 1,100 new square feet of space, as "very tight. We weren't able to carry everything we wanted to. It basically doubles the amount of space that we had before for kids and young adult books."
The former kids and YA area will now become a used book section, bringing the Ann Arbor location in line with Schuler's other stores in Grand Rapids, Okemos, and West Bloomfield.
