Around Edinburg: Celebrating Ravenna’s new book store

On Aug. 30, I celebrated the Grand Opening of my bookstore in Ravenna, Books a Go Go. I could not have dreamed of a better day and cannot thank the members of the community enough for coming out to show their support. Thank you as well to the Main Street Ravenna organization and the Ravenna Area Chamber of Commerce for putting together a great Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.

I started this adventure three years ago as a pop up shop and am happy to be in downtown Ravenna permanently. Not only is my shop an independent bookstore, but also place to bring the community together for book clubs, author events and other activities to come soon.

My store is located at 220 W. Main St., Ravenna. If you’re looking for a specific title, feel free to call the shop at 330-442-4226 or visit my website at www.booksagogostore.com.
