Newnan Book Co. in Newnan, Ga., will temporarily close as it transitions to new ownership, the City Menus reported.
Founder Laura Meredith, who opened the bookstore in 2022 as Candle Wick Book Company, is officially handing over the store to Elizabeth Webber. During the transition the bookstore will close as it undergoes renovations. New books will be brought in, and the store will receive new shelving and a fresh coat of paint. Newnan Book Co. will then welcome customers again with a grand reopening celebration on June 7.
'The Webbers will welcome you with southern charm and literary expertise," Meredith wrote of the new owner and her family on Instagram. "Please support this amazing family as they take on a community building experience through the lens of an independent bookstore that loves Newnan and welcomes all."
