We took over the long tradition of providing quality, affordable books to the community in August of 2019. Since then we've added a few things, dusted off a few things and kept a lot of things exactly the same way they've been since 1993. 

​

Housed in the former J.J. Newberry's department store, we don't have to do much to create great atmosphere. The tin ceilings, creaky floors, occasional bats, and endless stacks do the trick! 

​

We have more than 30,000 titles, curated mostly from donations, covering every genre you could possibly think of. The entire front half of the store is dedicated to Maine authors and history, while the rest of the space is a maze of romance, world history, storybooks, and more. 

​

If that's not enough to convince you to come visit, we also usually have a dog on register duty.
