Baltimore Bookstore Bus Tours: Tour 2 Details

Visiting Snug Books, Bird in Hand, Greedy Reads: Remington

SNUG BOOKS: CREATING A SPACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Many bookstores are primarily adult books with a special section or nook for kids. But Snug Books is basically half and half, an intentional multigenerational space to grow readers. Katie and Emanuel discuss the space and inventory dynamics-- and challenges-- that come with making a bookstore for all ages.

BIRD IN HAND CAFE AND BOOKSTORE: BOOKSTORE-CAFE? OR CAFE-BOOKSTORE?
Balancing two very different business models under one roof can be tricky. The staff of Bird in Hand shares the lessons they've learned and the best practices they've established.

GREEDY READS: REMINGTON THE SECOND STORE
At her Fells Point location, Julia has created a unique, identifiable space that is unmistakably Greedy Reads. But what happens when you open a new store? How do you establish a consistent identity when you expand to a new location? We learn how they've asked-- and answered-- these crucial growth questions.
