Main Street Books will survive: St. Charles store has buyer:
St. Charles-area book lovers can celebrate: Main Street Books, expected to close this month, has found new owners.
Current owners [Redacted] said today that Emily, [Redacted] will buy the store as of Feb. 14. [Redacted], 24, a graduate of Truman State University who majored in English, will oversee the day-to-day operations of Main Street Books. Her parents live in Weldon Spring and she lives in Bel-Nor.
I’m pleased to see the book store survive because I like independent book stores, and my beautiful wife and I visited this shop on our first date.
I’m a little reserved about it, though, given that it’s being bought to provide a job for a young English major. Hopefully, she’ll handle it.
