SAN ANTONIO — Bookworms can now visit a new community bookshop at the Castle Hills Market – the area’s first bookstore in over two decades.
Owners Lauren and Sean Richmond said Book Nerd is dedicated to providing a welcoming space that’s deeply rooted in local connections and a shared love of reading.
The locally owned bookshop is full of curated new and unique books that span all genres such as science fiction, horror, romance and fantasy, plus bookish goods that come from other small businesses. There’s also a children’s play corner and an event center in the back of the store.
Book Nerd’s grand opening was held on Oct. 11. It’s currently open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
The owners posted on Facebook about how grateful they are for the community’s support and business.
“Never in our wildest dreams did we think 1,000 people would walk through Book Nerd’s doors during our preview and Grand Opening weekend. Sean & I are beyond grateful to the community for supporting Book Nerd!
Our little bookstore would absolutely not exist without the support and volunteer hours of our friends and family! From cheering us on a year ago when we committed to opening Book Nerd, watching our dog while we spent countless hours at the store, to stickering and shelving books up to the night before we opened. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to each of you.
Thank you again to everyone who has walked through our doors, and if you haven’t made it by yet, we are excited to have you,” Lauren said in the post.
