Having stood the test of time for over 30 years while nearby three lamps establishments came and went is no wonder when you step into this enchanted children’s book shop.
Its bountiful book collection is available for purchase and owner Mary provides a generous array of books to be read and enjoyed in-store. Let the rat race that passes at the nearby intersection fade into the background as you immerse into a book and the I-could-fall-asleep-on-this-couch.
However, inevitably your little ones will not make it past the Thomas The Tank Engine rail yard. And just like Thomas, little has changed over the years at this bookstore and lets hope it stays that way in the years to come.
Keep an eye on Dorothy Butlers Facebook page for story time soon to be launched.
