Prairie Fox Books, Ottawa, Ill., opens today at 722 La Salle Street in the former location of the Book Mouse, which closed in August, the Times reported. The new owners are Gabriella Crivilare, her parents, Mary and Gregg Olson, and younger brother Ethan Olson.

"I thank these past owners for blazing the way, and I look forward to sharing my love of books and the written word with fellow book lovers throughout the area," said Crivilare, adding that the new bookshop will feature author events, special book parties and promote reading programs as did its predecessor.

The Times also noted that the Crivilare "confirmed Sonny, the cat that has lived in the bookstore for years, remains prowling among the many shelves at the shop."
