Title Euphoria opened earlier this year at 107 E Jackson St. in Burnet, Tex. The Burnet Bulletin recently spoke with owner Elizabeth Schlaudraff about the bookstore's journey thus far.
"It is fantastic, actually," she said. "Our goal is to create a community-hub type of thing and get people talking about books and to encourage literacy."
Schlaudraff added that the bookstore offers "a little bit of everything," including new and old hardback and paperback books for all ages, artistic figurines, bookmarks, craft kits, puzzles and specialty binding for classic books.
For Schlaudraff, books were the primary motivation even when she worked in other fields. Eventually, with assistance from Justin Schlaudraff, her husband, she operated a mobile bookstore.
"I love books," she said. "I love taking to people about books and readers. It is a big passion of mine.... We try to make our place comfortable for everyone." Future plans call for developing additional space toward the rear of the store for events, meetings, readings, and a study nook for students.
