It's Finally Here! Come to Our Grand Opening Today and See What 5,000 Books Looks Like

"I came home with a Deepak Chopra book which would definitely not have been on my radar, but it caught my attention because of your engaging displays!" — Patti Reher

Guests at the pre-opening gala for Prairie Path Books Saturday night were impressed with the cozy book store, tucked inside Toms-Price Home Furnishings at 303 E. Front Street in Wheaton.

"We loved all the personal touches: the logo cookies, candies with bookmarks, clever quotes, the vignettes of books and props—so clever!" said Patti Reher. 

Owners Sandy Koropp, Heather Janiak and Jenny Riddle, along with a slew of volunteer helpers, have been burning the midnight oil to get the shop ready for the official grand opening on Monday, June 2. Their hard work has paid off.

Check out these photos from Saturday night, then come in Monday between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to see for yourself. You won't believe your eyes.

Prairie Path Books also has a lot of events scheduled. Check this calendar for details.
