In fact, there are only about 200 of them nationwide. On May 3 the Once Upon a Time book shop was opened at 215 96th St. It's primarily a children's book store but the latest best sellers for adult readers are available too. One corner is set aside for their display. The larger space is devoted to youth and books are grouped on shelves designating the age level to which they will appeal. The store will be a real boon to grandparents seeking gifts for children they see infrequently. The new shop fulfills Azalea's dream. She met and married Judson Ellis while a student at Dickinson. When their two children, one of each, were t growing she organized a library for their church which ; later, tpscame a community library. A£tgf .

she worked at the Pinocchio Book Store in Shadyside, a suburb of Pittsburtgh. This piqued her interest in opening a similar boutique herself. Azalea plans to keep it open year round, but may later find there is not sufficient interest to remain open through both January and February. This is a real adjunct toour community.
