Books on Third will host a grand opening celebration this coming Saturday, October 11, at 1300 3rd St, S Unit 201 in Naples, Fla., "bringing more than 16,000 books to the shelves of the 3,000 square foot shop," Florida Weekly reported.
Owners Shan O'Fee-Byron and Lindsay Smith said there will be books for children, teens, and adults, along with gift items and a large selection of coffee-table books.
"We see it as a place to build community," O'Fee-Byron said. "People are looking for analog activities to take us away from all the tech that is consuming us.... We are just excited to invite everybody in and look at the store and take a browse around."
The store "intends to become a literary hub for the community, building an inspiring and inviting independent bookstore that will be a haven for book lovers of all kinds," Florida Weekly noted.
