Ellen Plumb's City Bookstore in Emporia, Kan., to Close

Ellen Plumb's City Bookstore in Emporia, Kan., which opened in 2016 and relocated across the street a year later, will close early next year. In an announcement posted on Facebook "with much sadness," owner Marcia Lawrence said the bookshop will close January 31, adding: "I am truly grateful for all you book lovers who have made the bookshop a comfortable, interesting, and safe 'third place.' Because I am unable to find an affordable and appropriate permanent location for the bookshop, it must close. I hope with all my heart that someone will step up to keep a bookstore in our town. Thank you from my heart for your patronage these past three-plus years."
