A new business has opened in historic downtown Cumberland with it's ribbon cutting on Friday. Lily Books & Café at 127 Baltimore Street carries a wide selection of books, including new and used titles and offers a variety of coffee, tea, and pastries. WCBC News spoke to Lily Jackson about her plans for the shop…

   

"I think it's super fun! I think the books are a whole other thing that can bring people in but then our hours are going to be super unique to the other coffee shops around here so, if it's like 9:00 p.m. and you want to come down and get a coffee and a book and just hang out you can do that."
