In this episode of Notable New England, we’re celebrating the heart and soul of New England’s literary scene: independent bookstores. 📚
Join me as I take you on a tour of some of the region’s most beloved indie bookstores, where books meet community, creativity, and connection. You'll hear about:
The Book Barn in Niantic, CT — a sprawling bibliophile’s dream with over 350,000 used and rare books.
The Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, VT — a family-friendly bookstore focused on children’s literature and a stop on the Vermont Bookstore Passport challenge.
Frugal Bookstore in Roxbury, MA — Boston’s treasured Black-owned bookstore and vibrant community hub.
The Big Chicken Barn Books & Antiques in Ellsworth, ME — a unique spot blending books, antiques, and cozy reading nooks.
Riffraff Bookstore & Bar in Providence, RI — where you can sip craft cocktails while browsing indie presses and underrepresented voices.
Sheafe Street Books in Portsmouth, NH — a charming, cozy bookstore with a literary cat and a curated selection of counterculture classics.
Plus, I spotlight the inspiring documentary Hello, Bookstore, a heartfelt story about the resilience of indie bookstores during the pandemic, featuring The Bookstore in Lenox, MA.
