Congratulations to Sunshine Book Co. in Clermont, Fla., which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month. In a Facebook post, the bookseller wrote: "How is it we're at this milestone?? Our 'what if' became a reality when we opened the doors to this beautiful and historical house April 2021. What a life we've created with this little bookstore here in South Lake County! Y'all have been the very BEST, more than we could have imagined.
"Many thanks to the family and friends who helped us get this off the ground. Thank you to the new friends we've made along the way. Thank you to the support from the South Lake Chamber of Commerce, Clermont Main Street, the ABA and SIBA, for guiding and teaching. Thank you to the schools, businesses, and organizations that have trusted us in so many ways. Thank you to the vendors and authors who have shared your stories and creations.
"We look forward to many more ways to serve, and many more years of being YOUR independent bookstore! Keep an eye out all month as we share ways to express our gratitude to you, our readers and bookish friends. Cheers to 5 years!"
