History
Nicola's Books is an independent bookstore (formerly Little Professor), Michigan owned and operated. In its current location since 1991 it was owned from 1995 to 2015 by Nicola Rooney. Rooney sold the store to Schuler Books (they have locations in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Okemos) in August of 2015. The store sells new books w/our award winning children's depart, extensive magazine selection, newspapers, cards & gifts. The store hosts several book reading groups and has author readings and signings regularly. Nicola's Books is also very committed to the Ann Arbor community. We work w/the school district in many ways and partners with the Ann Arbor District Library & the Michigan Theater. Nicola's also works with Washtenaw Literacy by giving them space for their training groups. Nicola's is also a sponsor of the Kerrytown BookFest and is active on the board.
