ReMain Nantucket, the nonprofit organization set up by Wendy Schmidt of The Schmidt Family Foundation that owns the island’s Mitchell’s Book Partners, announced Monday that it is partnering with Nantucket Bookworks owner Wendy Hudson to operate the store. Hudson is creating a new entity, Nantucket Book Partners, that will run both stores.
Hudson tells Shelf Awareness, “My vision is to continue to operate the two as unique but complementary sister stores open year-round. We will have one website, one events program, one POS system that can share information, etc., and one unified approach to buying, but we will be able to offer more to the island’s readers through less duplication and more diversification.”
