The book store is very quaint. We picked up several children’s books for the grandchildren, which they loved. We also browsed the other selections, which are quite diverse. A little something for everyone on your list.

In addition, there are some art and office supplies for sale, as well!…

This bookstore is small, but if you love bookstores, you can easily browse for an hour or more here. Definitely one of my "happy places."…
