True North Building 2 opens Next Page bookstore

MORRIS – True North Building 2 welcomes a new bookstore to its unique offerings and experiences.

Next Page, an independent bookstore located inside True North Building 2 at 1338 Clay Street in Morris, has new, gently used, and vintage books for every reader.

“It’s like the Book Fair for elementary school, but for adults,” said True North Owner Stacey Olson in a news release. “New and used books on all subjects: fiction, nonfiction, biographies, murder/crime, mystery, self help, women’s studies, mystical and ghosts, travel, history, crafts, home decorations, tarot and witch, gift books, graphic novels, romance, STEM categories, teen, young adult and children’s. A nice variety with something for everyone.”

Books are added daily, and the Next Page will be hosting author signings and other book events.

Author Maureen Keegan will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 5 to sign her book “The Wedding of Q and U.” On April 24 from 5-7 p.m. local author Jonelle Carter will be signing multiple of her book titles.

The bookstore opened in March and the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry celebrated with Next Page and True North with a ribbon cutting March 14.

“As with all of True North’s creations, the Next Page is more than it appears. The bookstore has something special in every corner and on every wall. From a kid’s corner to a piece of Morris’s history on the wall – it is truly an experience,” Grundy Chamber President & CEO Christina Van Yperen said.
