Later on, she moved her bookstore to Florida Street. Her bookstore had everything a
bookstore person could want: books, maps, paperbacks, even some
postcards. In fact, there was so much variety, I asked her if I
could draw a "map" of the store.
The map that resulted is pictured below. Just looking at it makes me wish it was still in business, and I could go there and check out what is new. Click on the image to make it larger.

Carol's efforts even included puppet shows, based on either her own writings for children (she published several books) or books that were available at her bookstore. Putting
together a traveling puppet show takes a lot of planning, effort, and
dedication, but these ladies in 1972 did just that and more. Children
all over Covington enjoyed their performances and music.

The
same group went on to hold "teddy bear parties" and other gatherings to
promote the joy of reading books among young people.
