GLEN ROSE To Janet Mills, her Rhythm & Co. Books on the corner of Elm and Barnard streets in the Downtown Square is more than just a bookstore.
“It s kind of like a book itself, with pages and chapters written by family and friends,” she said.
Several years ago, Mills, an avid reader and book collector, bounced the idea of opening a bookstore off of her husband Mark, who was supportive but cautious and wanted her to have a firm business plan. Those plans, however, were put on hold while Mark battled brain cancer. In 2017, he passed away, and she revisited the idea, but it took a couple of years to come to fruition.
