Holt Bookshelf in Holt, Mich., will close by the end of the year, FOX47 reported.
After 12 years in business, owner Laura Spanburg has decided to close the store, which sold new and used books. In a Facebook post announcing the closure, she wrote: "The staff and myself have had a long and wonderful experience providing reading material to so many for the past 12 years. This has not been an easy decision for me but it is time for me to retire and spend some much needed, and well deserved, time with family and friends.
"It has been one of my greatest pleasures to serve the Holt/Lansing community for so long and I can honestly say that so many of you have become more than just a customer to me and the girls. So please know that the Bookshelf family will always adore and appreciate you all."
The bookstore will stay open until Christmas or until Spanburg sells the last of the remaining inventory. Starting July 22, everything at the Bookshelf was 20% off.
