Remi Reads will reside at 8934 N. Seneca St. inside of a women's clothing store called Live a Little Boutique and will span 200 square feet. The store will carry a curated selection of titles for all ages, including classics as well as books by local authors.
Owner Michayla Granbois told the Citizen she initially wanted to open a mobile bookstore, but concerns about weather and safety led her to reaching out to Erika Van Horn, owner of Live a Little, about filling a vacant space within the store. Currently Granbois works full-time as a nurse, but hopes to devote more time to the bookstore. Its name, she noted, honors the family's late dog Remington.
The grand opening celebration on July 26 will include a ribbon-cutting, refreshments, and a raffle, as well as coffee from another Weedsport business, White Rabbit Roasting Co.
