Wayland Square Neighborhood Association Bookshop to riseagain:Defying Fahrenheit 451, Paper Nautilus used books (formerly Myopic Books) appears to berising phoenix-like from the ashes. After losing alease last April on 5 South Angell Street (one store in from Wayland Square)which it had held for two decades, its owner, Kristin Sollenberger, has boughtan empty store at 19 South Angell, facing Minerva Pizza. This is only a fewspaces down the same side of the street from its former location and marginallycloser to Blackstone Boulevard. It is less congested but also less conspicuous. The space has beenused by many businesses over the years, including Katharine Gibbs School’scareer placement, various health and beauty spas, and most recently a self-serviceparlor for soft ice-cream and yogurt. As this is beingwritten in late April, Paper Nautilus was just starting the process of movingits stock of books and renovating its new home to fit the demands of abookshop, such as shelving rather than dairy spouts. Contributions forthe relocation were being raised through a GoFundMe page, which readers cancheck for current progress ( https://www.gofundme.com/paper-nautilus-books-relocation). Earth Dayclean-up:On Earth Day(Saturday, April 22), neighborhood volunteers helped clean and tidy up WaylandSquare, fortified by treats and bonuses from Whole Foods Market and twentyother local businesses.
