A Room of One s Own is planning to move to Atwood Avenue into the Threshold space.
When A Room of Oneâs Own exits downtown Madison after 46 years, it will move into the Threshold community space at 2717 Atwood Ave., says bookstore co-owner Gretchen Treu. It was announced earlier that the store would be moving to the Atwood area, but not the specific location.
Treu says that A Room of Oneâs Own can be âa great neighborhood bookstore. We have a strong personality, we have a strong social justice mission, and weâll bring all of that with us. But the shop can also be a destination for nearby residents to walk to with their families and enjoy.âÂ
