We almost missed Railroad Book Depot... In fact, we did miss it the first go around because there was no signage above the storefront stating the name of the business! So, we drove right by it and had to circle around the block before eventually spotting it.
We arrived a little before 10am in the morning and entered Railroad Book Depot when they opened at 10am. It's a nice sized bookstore with a mixture of both new and used books. They also sell greeting cards and even costume jewelry. Plus, they have local author events.
We took a quick spin around Railroad Book Depot's storefront and were in and out in 15 minutes. I purchased one new paperback book during our visit titled, The Last Letter From Sicily by Lindsay Marie Morris. I learned from the Railroad Book Depot 's website that Lindsay Marie Morris will be at the Railroad Book Depot on Saturday, June 7, 2025 from 12pm - 1pm signing copies of her novel.
Unfortunately, I won't be around for this in person author event. However, The Last Letter From Sicily does sound like a good novel. It's inspired by true events.
It's also worth noting that teachers and library cardholders receive a 10% discount off of their purchases at Railroad Book Depot! That's kind of cool!
Railroad Book Depot is the first bookstore I've actually been inside of since the pandemic lockdowns in 2020!! Now that I think about it, I hadn't actually walked inside of a brick and mortar bookstore since 2019.
I've mainly purchased books online or exchanged books at Little Free Libraries since 2020. It was nice to visit a brick and mortar bookstore again.

How lovely. I like this kind of LFL, more to choose from and the books are definitely not too dirty. I'm not surprised you found something there.
ReplyDeleteThis was an independent bookstore. It was a nice sized one and fun to visit.
