From the people who know books... your local independent bookseller


In America, local businesses

are the heart and soul of Main Street. When you shop at your locally-owned independent bookseller, you give back to your community in many ways. Local bookstores hire your friends and neighbors. Bookstores increase literacy in your community by fostering a vibrant, engaging center that promotes the power of reading. More of your taxes are reinvested in your community, maintaining the value of homes, businesses, property, and more.

A strong local economy requires thriving locally-

owned businesses. When you shop local, your money goes to Main Street: your street.

This holiday season, be a part of the story. Shop

your neighborhood and keep the heart and soul of your community thriving. Bring books home for the holidays, and happy reading!
