Description
that old. We’ve known many of you since we opened on Main Street next to the Factory Point Bank in September, 1976. We were novices, but we knew we had made the right decision when passersby would drop in to the store – not yet finished – asking for specific titles as we were opening up cartons of books to put on the shelves. One person asked if “this was going to be an adult bookstore,” and we assured him that it was for all ages. Another asked if we were going to carry music – then it was LP’s - and we were quick to sense a demand for records. Children’s books were always going to be a focus, but soon after we opened – in 1,000 square feet on one floor – we realized that we hadn’t allocated enough space for them, and so two years later we opened the Children’s Level downstairs.
In 1985, the Northshire Bookstore made a risky, some said foolhardy, decision to purchase the Colburn House, formerly an established inn and restaurant, and after 1½ years of redesign and extensive renovation, we moved across the street. Over the years, we were rewarded by a growing clientele, a wonderful and enthusiastic staff, and an author program that contributed to the cultural vibrancy of the community. In response to our local customers, as well as visitors, we built our house of books so that by the end of the 90’s, we started
dreaming about what would have been inconceivable when we moved in to the Colburn. We needed a bigger store! And the planning began.
