                      Wednesday, November 18, 2015

  Mrs. ROBY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Capitol Book & News, 
one of Alabama's oldest independent book stores, who will be closing 
their doors after 65 years of business.
   Founded in 1950 by Victor Lavine, Capitol Book & News has been a 
staple in Montgomery, Alabama's community providing books and 
recommendations to customers. Thomas and Cheryl Upchurch, owners for 
the past 37 years, are known for their trusted advice and suggestions 
on what books to read.
   Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to acknowledge Capitol Book & News' 
positive impact on Montgomery's community and to thank them for their 
loyal and dedicated service to their customers.
