About me:
The Odyssey Bookshop was established in 1963 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in November, 2003. The Odyssey was founded by Romeo Grenier, a French-Canadian immigrant who arrived in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1923 at the age of thirteen. Despite a limited high school education, he became a passionate reader, buying a book a week. In 1935 he became a pharmacist, and in 1957 he bought Glesmann’s Pharmacy across the street from Mount Holyoke College, one of the Seven Sisters and the first women’s college in the United States.
The Odyssey continues to be a vital part of the Mount Holyoke College Community. In 2001, the Odyssey won a contract from the college to provide the course books for all courses and in 2003, the store also started carrying art supplies required in the college’s art studio courses. In addition, many of the Odyssey’s events are planned in conjunction with college faculty and departments.
