54: Meg Niesen, owner of The Irreverent Bookworm
"One of the reasons why I love used books so much is the connection to the person who held the book before you." - Meg Niesen
Meg Niesen is the owner of The Irreverent Bookworm, an independent, woman and family-owned bookstore on the corner of 52nd St. and Bloomington Ave in South Minneapolis. The Irreverent Bookworm is a warm, welcoming space that encourages literacy and love for the written word throughout our diverse community of friends, neighbors, and fellow bookworms everywhere.
