Norwich Bookstore

On Saturday, August 1, 1994, we opened the bookstore doors for the first time! We have had the pleasure of discussing books with readers in our community and enjoyed countless author presentations for 26 great years. Now we find ourselves talking about books on the phone and and watching author presentations online.

We are grateful for your support over the years -- especially now. Your kind words, smiles, and thumbs-up through the window all mean so much. We look forward to the day when we can safely open the doors again...  

In the meanwhile, stay tuned for our Pop-up Porch Shop, coming soon! - Liza & Penny

We mourn the passing of Representative John R. Lewis, a man who did much to show us a path forward...

"We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear."

To help us understand the racial conflicts in our world, we have compiled a list of recommended reading. Please let us know of books we should add.

Note: Due to demand, many of these important books are backordered at the publisher. We have LOTS on order and will fill requests as they come in.)

What do you think of when you hear the words “Summer Reading”? Light entertainment? Or a chance to delve into something challenging? 

If our doors were open, you would find a display of these recent paperback editions - both fiction and nonfiction front and center! Instead, you can browse the selection on this website.

This is a different kind of summer: travel is limited, gatherings are smaller, finances may be tight, and anxiety about much that is going on in the world is real.

Now more than ever, we all need to find ways to relax so we have compiled a list of suggestions for Summer Reading and Activities for all ages.

UPDATED HOURS: While the Norwich Bookstore is not open for browsing, we are here processing orders for pick up and shipping Tuesday through Friday, 9 am - 5 pm, Saturday 9 am - 2 pm. (Closed on Sunday and Monday.)

We appreciate your support and patience during this challenging time. We're happy to be working behind the scenes while the store is dark, and look forward to open hours as soon as possible. We truly miss the daily interactions we have come to so enjoy...

Take good care of yourselves and each other.
