Page Society Bookshop has been making appearances around southwest Oklahoma since its spring debut, the Lawton Constitution reported.
Based in Duncan, Okla., the mobile bookstore carries general-interest titles for children and adults alongside nonbook items like bookmarks, greeting cards, and notebooks.
Owner Kara Sanders made a few initial pop-up appearances in March prior to an official opening in April. So far the Page Society Bookshop has visited Duncan, Marlow, and Comanche; her next scheduled appearance is a stop at the Cotton Blossom Winery in Marlow on June 28.
Sanders told the Lawton Constitution that one of the main reasons for opening a bookmobile instead of a bricks-and-mortar store was that both her children compete in cross-country running, and this allows Page Society Bookshop to travel with them. She said, "My kids, they're a big part of my life, so I schedule around that, and that's why I chose to do it this way and not open a physical store so that I have the flexibility to do that."
