Mr. Paperback, a chain of 18 bookstores, closed its Millinocket bookstore in January. Jim McCree, the general manager of Mr. Paperback, said the Millinocket store hadn't made a profit in years. Millinocket residents wanting a book or a choice in magazines now face a 70-mile ride. Millinocket's library usage is 12 books borrowed per person annually, just below Bangor's rate of 14 and well above the national average of four books borrowed per person. Details.
