dedication to offering an unparalleled literary experience to our

schools, libraries, and community organizations to promote literacy
initiatives and educational programs.
Books-A-Million began in 1917 as a street corner newsstand in
Florence, Alabama, by Clyde W. Anderson. At the time, workers were
coming from all over the country to complete the nearby
Wilson Dam, and Anderson saw that
they struggled to obtain news from their hometowns. He started
bringing in newspapers from across the country, and his newsstand,
and the first iteration of what would become Books-A-Million, was
born. When his son inherited the business he expanded it into
several bookstore locations. Today, Books-A-Million has over 250
locations across the country, but is still a family-run business,
operated by descendants of Clyde W.
Anderson.
Another Books-A-Million location is opening in Bangor, Maine this summer. An existing
Books-A-Million has been open in the area since 2011 but the store
is relocating to 490 Stillwater Ave in Bangor, and holding a grand opening of this
brand new space on June 22nd. More
information about that location can be found here.
