Bromley's Books, which launched a mobile bookstore in a converted bus last September, will open a bricks-and-mortar location this month at 813 N. Third St. in Marquette, Mich. WLUC reported that owner Chelsea Bromley plans to open the store officially on Independent Bookstore Day, April 26.
The bookshop will offer a range of new books, including classics, contemporary titles, books from local authors, and native stories. Bromley added that it will enhance the bus's mission to travel across the Upper Peninsula bringing books to people.
"It gives us the opportunity to take our little mobile bookstore outside of Marquette and make some trips up to Negaunee and Ishpeming," she noted. "We have some plans to go to L'Anse this summer. So, it really helps us get books out into more rural communities here in the U.P."
In a recent Instagram post, Bromley's Books wrote: "Bookshelves, books, and boxes! Our to-do list is long, but we're making steady progress at Bromley's Books on Third. Thank you being part of this new chapter, we're excited for you to see your new neighborhood bookshop!"
