In our nomadic, digital environment, Horizon Books Store & Café is the perfect place to meet a friend for coffee, enjoy a homemade pastry or hunker down with a new novel. Owners Victor Herman, president, and his wife Amy Reynolds, run the establishment that has served Traverse City for nearly 60 years.

            Now they are looking for dependable, local talent to confidently make and serve espresso drinks. Organizational skills, cleanliness, reading and following directions, computer and telephone skills are required. Previous bookstore experience is helpful.

            “Our goal and our focus was books and to make Horizon Books the greatest bookstore ever,” says Herman. “It’s the community that supported and embraced it to make it what it is today—a community center.” That sense of community, the space where people gather away from their homes or offices for coffee, conversation or entertainment, began at the original location with neighbors and friends bumping into each other and became prominent after Horizon Books relocated to a much larger space, its current home, in 1993.

Traverse City location: 243 E. Front St. (also in Cadillac). For more information, call Juan Pineda at 231-946-7290, email [email protected] or visit HorizonBooks.com.
