You can now shop with us on the internet 24/7 — the convenience of shopping at home while supporting your locally owned and independent bookstore at the same time! Our website offers you the option of having books mailed to you or picking them up at the store. The website may say that a book is a “special order” and not immediately available when, in fact, we have it on the shelf. We are working on this glitch, so please call or email if there is a title you need quickly.

Recently a customer told us that the Norwich Bookstore was her favorite “personal search engine” because we helped her find just the right book to read or as to give as a gift — even when details about the title were as vague as “it was blue and on the display by the door last week” or “I read about it somewhere” . . . or as specific as “he only reads about the Civil War so it has to have been published in the past two months.” We thoroughly enjoy matching books and readers with our used and out-of-print book service there is rarely a title we can’t find for you.

Over the years we have developed wonderful working relationships with organizations in the region that host authors in settings outside of the bookstore. This fall is busy with a new Vermont Humanities Council series on the first Wednesdays of the month. Terry Tempest Williams will be visiting Dartmouth College. And David Macaulay, who now lives in Norwich, has a new book that will be the cornerstone of a unique ten-day fundraising event hosted by the Norwich Public Library.

We hope you join us for the many exciting book events this fall. Enjoy the changing seasons . . .
