Celebrating Love, Literature, and Juneteenth: Happening This Week!

Hannah and Dawson embark on their happily ever after!

As we turn the page into mid-June, there’s plenty to celebrate—starting with love! On Saturday, June 14th, our very first employee, the amazing Hannah Rose, tied the knot! We couldn’t be more thrilled to congratulate Hannah and her wonderful new husband, Dawson, on their wedding celebration.

From her very first day behind the counter in 2019 to now, she’s been an integral part of the Main Street Reads family. We wish them a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever afters! ❤️
