Look where we are now!
New to the Bookstore
Artisan Attic Now Open!
Our upper floor showcases the work of local artists, crafters and other artisans. I am deeply impressed with the variety and quality of their work. Whether you are looking for a new painting, a sculpture, candles or woodwork we have that and more. Open whenever the store is open.
Fantasy Gaming Coming Soon
We have a little work to do on our basement, but we will soon open it to fantasy role-playing games. You can bring your existing gaming group or come solo and join a group. Bring whatever games you play or learn new ones. Basement open to age 18+, other gaming areas open to families but all children must have an adult with them.

Adopt a bookcase
We have a wonderful artisan who will create built in bookcases for our main floor, but we need to raise money for the materials. If you adopt a bookcase or a slatboard section, your name (or the name of someone you would like to honor) will go on a plaque on the section you adopt.
$150 for a bookcase
$75 for a slatwall section
