Three important staff members of Bookstore1Sarasota, Sarasota, Fla., are leaving--"all for the best of reasons," owner Georgia Court said--so the store is looking for booksellers, particularly someone "to step up to management in a bookstore in sunny Sarasota--the arts capital of Florida."
The three departing staff members are James and Lindsay Mammone, "a fabulous, young couple" who have worked at the store since its founding in 2011, both of whom have been accepted into a MFA program. James is Bookstore1's assistant manager and leads two book clubs each month--James' Choice Book Club and his Book Study Club. Lindsay has been the creative touch behind the store's posters, bag stuffers, brochures and e-blasts.
Alexis Orgera, published poet, customer service person, leader of the Mixed Tape Poetry Book Club and coordinator of the annual PoetryLife festival, teaches workshops, writes a poetry prompt e-blast for teachers and does book reviews for a local weekly paper. She is looking for a location where "she and her beau can start an artists' retreat."
