ROCKFORD — Drewelow’s House of Books is now celebrating its grand reopening, an event that culminates its yearlong effort to turn its new location into its new home.
The used bookshop moved to 3925 E. State St., suite 100, a year ago after operating from Charles Street since 2008. It was forced to move because the city decided to tear down the strip mall where it was located as part of a plan to mitigate flooding along Keith Creek. The property was demolished this summer.
“Despite the challenges we faced, we are thrilled to be back and better than ever,” owner Patricia Drewelow said. “Drewelow’s House of Books is not just a bookstore; it’s a community hub for book lovers and treasure hunters alike. We are committed to making everyone feel at home and supporting our local authors and artists.”…
