Hey, if you're wondering what that big boom was this morning, it was me announcing that after RiverRun closes on Feb 28, it will be replaced by THE PORTSMOUTH BOOK NOOK!! Here's the press release:

Portsmouth Book Nook to Open Its Doors at Current RiverRun Store: A New Independent Bookstore Celebrating Portsmouth Community and Reading

Portsmouth, NH – January 27, 2025 – The Portsmouth Book Nook is set to open in early spring, taking over the beloved RiverRun Bookstore’s space in downtown Portsmouth. This new independent bookstore will honor the legacy of RiverRun while focusing on community, families, and a shared love for reading.
"
Rooted in the values of discovery and connection, the Portsmouth Book Nook will create a welcoming environment where families, readers, and learners of all ages can come together to explore and celebrate the joy of books.

“We believe a great bookstore can be the heart of a community,” said Ashley Meenaghan and Laura Koulet, co-founders of Portsmouth Book Nook. “Our goal is to create a space where people of all ages can connect, share ideas, and cultivate a love of reading.” As residents of Portsmouth, both Meenaghan and Koulet bring a deep understanding of the community’s needs.

“RiverRun has thrived here for so long because the people of Portsmouth deeply value locally owned and operated businesses,” said Tom Holbrook, owner of RiverRun. “I know Ashley and Laura, and I’m delighted with the plans they have shared with me. I guarantee my long-time customers that they will be in good hands with the Book Nook.”

More than just a retail space, Portsmouth Book Nook will grow to provide programming and partner with local organizations to promote author readings, book clubs, children’s storytime sessions, and events designed to inspire creativity and lifelong learning.

The store’s thoughtfully curated selection will feature something for every member of the family: from parent to child to grandparent. With a mix of literary classics, non-fiction, children’s picture books, educational toys, and today’s bestsellers, Portsmouth Book Nook aims to offer a diverse and inclusive range of titles that reflect the community it serves.

The Portsmouth Book Nook’s grand opening is planned for early spring. Stay tuned for details on special events and celebrations to mark this new chapter for Portsmouth’s literary community.

This winter might not be the typical one that us Mainers are used to, but it doesn’t mean that we aren’t looking for something to warm us up… Adopting a new pet may be just what you need!

Our friends at Evergreen Subaru are inviting us into their showroom on Saturday, Feb 8th to help shelter pets find their new homes! We hope to have puppies, kittens and a few small animals with us, plus have some visits from adoptable adult dogs, too. We’ll be sharing more inform on the pets available as we get closer - so make sure to keep an eye out!

We’ll also hope you’ll help us Pack the Subaru with donations for the shelter. Things like pet food, litter, bleach, laundry detergent and treats are especially helpful right now.

We are grateful for the continued support of Evergreen and their team which proves that truly Subaru Loves Pets!

Hi I’m Bob Marley! 😊 Im the sweetest and gentle old man ever. I have been with Old Friends for over a year. While I’m a bit shy at first, once I warm up to you, I’m all in! I love to give face kisses all day and butt scratches! I love toys, food, car rides, and lake trips—swimming is especially my favorite! I prefer to be a solo dog but I can coexist with other dogs given time and patience! I would be the perfect companion for a single home. Come meet me and let’s become new best friends! 🥰✨🐾
