According to Shelf Awareness, The Oxford, Ohio, Chamber of Commerce honored Howard Dubois with a Lifetime Achievement Award. This is from a story in the Oxford Press. Howard is the owner of Dubois Book Store in Oxford.
Also in the news is Canada’s oldest bookstore. The Book Room, Halifax, Nova Scotia, will begin “an orderly shutdown of its retail store and dispose of its inventory” over the next few weeks and will close at the end of March, store president Charles Burchell told CBC News.
“I am extremely disappointed to make this announcement as the Book Room has been an institution in Nova Scotia,” he continued. “The bookstore has survived two World Wars, the Great Depression and economic ups and downs over its 169 year history.”
