It was only a few weeks ago that I was saddened to learn that the Waldenbooks in the Valley Mall was closing. The book store had been a constant fixture in the Valley Mall as long as I’ve lived here in the Hagerstown area. We stopped by the Valley Mall this evening and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a Books-A-Million had moved and and set up in place of Waldenbooks.
It’s a Christmas miracle!
A large Books-A-Million opened recently in nearby Martinsburg, West Virginia. This one of course is much smaller, but it’s still great to have a place in the mall to buy books and magazines. Walking around inside tonight, it looks as though the sections are more or less the same as they were when it was a Waldenbooks.
