It’s a great day for book-lovers. Barnes & Noble Booksellers is now open at South Hill Mall. A Grand Opening Celebration will begin today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 AM. Throughout the day, until 3 PM, a terrific lineup of authors will be on hand to autograph books for their fans. Among them will be mystery novelist J.A. Jance, children’s book author Amanda Noll and romance writer E.M. Wilson.
The new Barnes & Noble occupies more than 19,000 square feet near JCPenney and DSW, featuring a magnificent selection of traditional fiction and non-fiction works, as well as subscription services for online books. Customers will also find a comfortable café where they can relax with a beverage and a snack to complement their reading. Barnes & Noble’s beginnings can be traced to 1873, when Charles M. Barnes started a book business from his home in Wheaton, Illinois. At present, Barnes & Noble serves over 600 communities in all 50 states and remains the #1 book retailer in the United States.
