Welcome!
my name is Kimberly.
and i live in Northwest Indiana.
I have been a Stay At Home Mom for the past 4 years to three little ones.
Over the years, my dreams have changed many times, but the only constant love and passion i have had, is BOOKS!
my husband and i lived in Tennessee for a year and i fell in love with this used bookstore, i found it my second home. not only were books more affordable, but they had a trade in system where you took your old books in, for credit for new books. When we moved back to Indiana, it has been my greatest miss. So, why not bring a touch of the south home with me? As of now, i am unable to go through the process of owning my own store, however, all small businesses start somewhere, right? We are fortunate to be able to have our shop start in the comfort of our own home, in hopes to expand in the future.
So many people get caught up in the technology of today's world, and forget the magic of books. getting wrapped up in a story, sitting in the sunshine engulfed in a novel. Having children to raise, i don't want to hand them an ereader, it isn't the same. We hold the future, and books should never get pushed to the same. don't you remember the thrill of buying new books, and not being able to get home to read it? It's so different than hitting "download" and waiting for it to load. Help me bring back the magic!
Every dream takes flight with a single step.
Carpe Librum will be a bookshop that extends to all readers, with adult, teen, and childrens books to choose from. A touch of bringing back a little of the magic that books hold. A place where you can stay as long as you like, and enjoy getting lost in the wonder that is books. There will be a point and punch card system for trade in books, bringing your old books in and taking new books home. and all donations will be excepted with generosity. There will always be a suggestion box for titles and authors that you're looking for, All these joys will be in one cozy little spot, with no shipping costs or wait time. In the future i plan to host Book Clubs and Kiddos Story Times.
