Booked, the children's bookstore in Evanston, Ill., that opened in 2018, has added Rachel Round as a co-owner.
Round, whose background is in academia and was an assistant professor of Education, Disability Studies and School Psychology, will join co-owner and founder Chelsea Elward in running the store. Her focus will be on school and community partnerships.
While Round has never worked in the book business before, owning a bookstore has "always been a dream" of hers.
