97. Taking A Page Out Of Jennifer Jubenville’s Book

The average American reads about twelve books a year on average, getting lost in a story for about nineteen minutes a day. The benefits of being a bookworm are hard to beat, with recent studies suggesting that the hobby relieves stress more than any other, improves focus and leads to a better night of sleep. For all of these reasons and more, you should book it to The Bookstore At Fitger’s, a special space located on the first floor of the famed Duluth mall. The spot is keen on celebrating the history, culture and natural beauty of our region, all while holding court just a few feet away from the shores of Lake Superior. This is not your average bookstore, locally-owned and independent, with a selection carefully curated for their specific clientele, their offerings as unique as the city the store calls home. Being bound to books is a good thing: just ask Jennifer Jubenville, the Store Manager for the beloved bookstore. She’s been working in the book business since 2015, snagging the role she holds today just a few years later in March of 2018. It’s the perfect job for Jennifer, an avid reader who truly lives and breathes books, reading a whopping 385 just last year! Her role leading the booksellers at The Bookstore At Fitger’s was truly bound to happen and in this episode, she shares her story, just like the ones she surrounds herself with each and every day.
