In 1999, Bud and Susan Burwell took the reigns and continued the community tradition inspired by the original owners. Bud and Susan have created a haven for book lovers of all ages. The store includes a literary living room in the shop where you can snuggle with a cup of coffee or attend one of the stores frequent lectures or events. You can even stop by for an afternoon of bluegrass music once a month.
