Last weekend, Love & Other Books hosted a grand opening celebration at 251 E. 9 Mile Rd, Ferndale, Mich., with a family event that included games, activities, giveaways, and prizes.
"At Love & Other Books, we believe that everyone deserves a place of comfort, belonging, and love," co-owners Erin and Mike Cambron say in their mission statement. "That's why we've created a space where readers can take their time and connect with others over their shared love of books. Our diverse collection is carefully curated to cater to all interests, and we hope that every visit leaves you feeling a little more loved than before."
Erin Cambron has a background in education in history, French, and English as a Second Language. Her passion is in forming community and talking about books. Max Cambron works full-time for a software company and is the finance/tech brain behind the business.
Earlier this year, Erin Cambron had posted on Facebook: "Together with my husband, Max, we had a dream to be more community-minded. We have lived in Ferndale for 12 years and adore our little city of love. Our house is brimming with books and we love bonding with others over books.... I'm looking forward to seeing you at our store."
