Local readers will have a new place to purchase gently used books and sip a cup of coffee in downtown Gainesville, while further helping adults with disabilities gain valuable job training. Rooster’s Perch Coffee & Book Company celebrated their “grand expansion ceremony” Thursday. The store is the latest project of D’ete Sewell, who works for Randy & Friends, a local nonprofit specializing in creating opportunities for adults with disabilities.
