Ellen Speers has been promoted to manager of Titcomb's Bookshop, East Sandwich, Mass. She has worked at the store since 2015, starting as a frontline bookseller, then as toy buyer and most recently as gift buyer and events coordinator.
In an e-mail to customers, owner Vicky Titcomb said in part, "The bookstore has grown so much in recent years, and Ellen brings the knowledge and qualities we need to continue to grow and develop. Already, she has undertaken the careful planning for our reopening this month. She has also worked, along with Elizabeth Merritt, to set up a stellar group of exciting virtual author visits this summer, including Jeanine Cummins, Gail Tsukiyama and J. Courtney Sullivan.
"Ellen's enthusiasm for books is contagious, and her warm personality shines. We are so excited to have her as our manager, and are looking forward to a very bright future for Titcomb's!"
