Word Bookstore
This independent bookstore is known for their eager staff and expertly curated novel selections. Step inside the cheerful store and you will find "shelf talkers," a quirky yet persuasive recommendation tab provided by the staff to help you with your book search. But the real reason people come all the way out here lies beyond the shelf talkers. They come to be a part of the community of literary lovers. More than just a bookstore, Word strives to build this literary community by throwing book parties for local authors as well as literary matchmaking events.
