Following its debut earlier this week, the Book Nook in Warren, Ohio, will host a grand opening this Saturday, WKBN27 reported.
Located at 222 East Market St., the Book Nook specializes in books by independent authors, and currently stocks around 200 titles. Nearly every book is signed, and many were written by local authors. Owner Katelyn Matusky noted that the inventory is "growing daily," with 10 more local authors set to deliver their books this week. In addition to books, Matusky carries a variety of bookish gifts and sidelines, and there is also a coffee bar.
Roughly a year ago, Matusky began sharing and reviewing books by independent authors on BookTok. The popularity of that page led her to starting an online store earlier this year, and that received so much demand she decided to open a bricks-and-mortar store.
Later in the summer Matusky will host an Author Market in Warren's downtown square.
