A bookshop with a story-time waiting list

Saturday story time at Dog-Eared Books now fills up a week in advance.

Bookstore aisle with wooden shelves, floating books and a chandelier

The rug in the kids' corner at Dog-Eared Books seats twenty, and on Saturday mornings every spot is taken.

New and used

Half the shelves hold used books bought from neighbours, which keeps prices low and the stock surprising.

Special orders

Anything in print can be ordered and is usually on the counter within three days.
