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.

I love to read and I for sure patronize both online and brick-and-mortar chains, but there's nothing quite like a locally owned bookstore.

This is such a quaint and lovely independent bookstore. The employees all post their own reviews for "Top Picks."

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