“...enjoys the art of the browse. We carry new and bestselling titles, but love to sneak in titles you may not see elsewhere.”
Years in business: 91
Fun fact: Our location is the site of the first library in town, opened with the help of a Carnegie grant. We have a three-time published novelist on staff and one of the most well-read groups of booksellers you'll find anywhere.
Explore our community: Westfield has tons of great restaurants and shops, an arcade, revolution-era historic sites and graveyard, and claims Charles Addams as one of our many famous residents.
Staff picks: We all have very different interests, our inventory reflects that.
“We are a 91-year-old bookstore with a great selection of books for all ages. We are woman-owned and operated; in fact, two women opened the doors in 1934.”
