The burg of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, will have an independent bookstore downtown as of next week.

Books on Broadway, at 201 N. Broadway, is slated to hold its grand opening next Thursday, April 24. I’ve been intentionally driving past whenever I’m out and about and peering in the windows on walks.

It’s supposed to offer new and used books.

This is a nice thing for downtown Siloam Springs, which needs another (retail) reason for people to visit. And how can I not be excited about it?

The store’s website is fledgling, but it’s up.

I’ve heard more about the store, but I only have this additional information second- or third-hand, so I’ll refrain from adding it here.
