Millie Magoo's & The Fine Print bookstore will host a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting on May 30 at 229 Walnut Ave. in Lakeside, Ohio, featuring an author signing as well as family-friendly activities throughout the day, the Beacon reported.
"I am thrilled to continue the bookstore tradition here in Lakeside Marblehead," said owner Traci Richards. "We are the only bookstore in all of Ottawa County. Our new location is larger, so we are increasing the amount of inventory and plan to stay open year-round both in person and online through our relationships with Libro.fm and Bookshop.org. This allows us to cater to our community and its needs."
Millie Magoo's "seems right at home in its newly-renovated space, a 1930s cottage which previously housed an antique store and sold stone statuaries from its porch," the Beacon noted. The project of "bringing new life" to the property involved refinishing original floors and light fixtures, all new electric and adding a fresh coat of paint inside and out. In addition to books, the shop offers games, puzzles, art supplies and more. Richards also plans to create a flexible gathering space.
