Book Store Closing

By: Alexandra Brown

Updated: March 8, 2013

Cokesbury Book Store is closing in downtown Little Rock.

It is one of 38 stores across the country that will close as the Methodist Church transitions to online sales.

The Little Rock store had made money, but the United Methodist Publishing House has spent more money on the brick and mortar stores across the country than they collectively make in sales.
