You don t have to buy food or drink to sit around and talk about books.
The Bibliophile: For the Love of Books will open Saturday at 241 W. Third St. Official store hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays. it may be open at other times as the proprietors schedule allows.

With the addition of a Rotary District grant and monies from ticket sales, the Dine Around Town Raffle proceeds will allow for the purchase of more than $3,950 in books through The Children’s Book Cellar. Books purchased through the raffle will be distributed by KVCAP, Educare Central Maine and Waterville Creates!, according to a news release from Rotary Club of Waterville.
