SARATOGA SPRINGS — Northshire Bookstore this week celebrates 10 years in its Saratoga Springs location, at 424 Broadway.
Northshire Bookstore was founded by Ed and Barbara Morrow on Main Street in Manchester Center, Vermont in September 1976. The Saratoga Springs location opened in August 2013. Both Northshire Bookstore locations are now owned and operated by sisters Cathleen Ihasz, Nicole Ihasz and Ashley Ihasz-Austin.
“Saratoga Springs understood the value of a downtown bookstore and effectively lobbied, invested and supported us, later pouring into the aisles with friends and family in celebration of their new bookstore,” says Nancy Scheemaker, general manager of the Saratoga store. “We are of course deeply grateful for this passion and vision. We are grateful also for a decade of support that we could only have dreamed of prior to experiencing the real thing.”
Over the last decade, Northshire has presented more than a 1,000 author events in Saratoga Springs, hosted children’s programming and brought authors into area schools, partnered with local not-for-profits, and has worked with our customers to provide free children’s books to area children via our Book Angels program.
