Co-owner Mike Muilenberg, who lives in South Deerfield, said he plans to move to New York with his wife. The store’s final hours will be Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Muilenberg and business partner Dick Floyd opened the store in August 2011 on Bridge Street, across from its current location at 1 Deerfield Ave. After flooding from Hurricane Irene destroyed more than two-thirds of their inventory, the bookstore changed locations.
