Smiths selling bookstore after 28 years

 

SHERIDAN — If you’ve been on the hunt for a good book over the last 28 years — for yourself, your grandson or a close friend — you’ve likely talked to Robby Smith.

Smith, who owns Sheridan Stationery Books and Gallery with her husband John, takes pride in every one of those interactions — whether the customer is from Denmark, Mississippi or down the street — and she smiles as she recalls the many customers she’s helped over nearly three decades.

“What I like about the bookstore is that people are coming in because they want to come in,” Robby Smith said. “They’re here because they want to be.
