Today, Barnes & Noble's new bookstore in Rushmore Crossing at 1617 Eglin St., Rapid City, S.Dak., is hosting its grand opening. Children's author Sean Covel will be cutting the ribbon and signing copies of his books. The location also features a B&N Café.
"We are very pleased to open this beautiful new bookstore in Rapid City," B&N said. "It is a direct result of some of our booksellers and many residents of Rapid City e-mailing with a vigorous campaign to ask us to open here. We thank them for their persistence!"
