Osvaldo Ramirez is part of the Heath Hodges Construction Co. team working at Turnrow Books. The Howard Street bookstore has been under reconstruction since March. It’s hoped the store will reopen before Christmas — or before the end of the year, but there’s no firm date yet for when the store will be open again.
Turnrow Book Co.’s bookshelves have been reinstalled, and the reconstruction of the bookstore is progressing.
There is a fair amount of work to be completed before the store can be reopened, but that occurrence is in sight.
