An independent bookshop · Providence, Rhode Island
Readings, book clubs, story hour and the new fiction on the front table. The calendar goes up in the shop window and reaches the list first — sign your name and we’ll write to you before we print a thing.
This month
Readings, clubs and story hour are written up on the wall by the door, and the same list goes out to the newsletter first. Here is what runs at the shop.
A writer reads from a new book and takes questions after. Dates are posted in the shop and in the letter at the same time.
Groups choose their own books and meet in the shop. Copies of what they are reading stay behind the counter for whoever joins late.
Picture books read out loud on the rug by the window, with cushions on the floor and nobody asked to sit still.
Any title, any press, ordered in for you — and books chosen for other people, wrapped at the counter.
Book clubs
Groups pick their own books and meet here. We keep the shelf stocked, the lamps on, and the door open to anyone who wants in.
Kids story hour
Picture books read out loud, cushions on the floor, and nobody asked to sit still. The low shelves are for small hands — take your time with them.
Gifts & special orders
Tell us who it is for and what they have loved lately, and we will find the book — or order any title, any press.
