Carleton Announces Closing of Downtown's River City Books
Carleton announced that it is closing River City Books, the College-owned bookstore located at 306 Division Street in downtown Northfield. River City Books opened in March 2002 as a service and benefit to the Northfield community, but the lack of a positive bottom line ultimately led to the decision to close the store. The store is one of only a handful in Minnesota to earn designation in the “McSweeney’s 100” which identifies top independent bookstores. The College anticipates closing the River City location sometime in the first half of 2009.
