About
Independent community bookstore with books, gifts, children's picks, author events, and downtown browsing energy. Books, gifts and author eventsElm Street Books pairs downtown browsing with an online catalog, staff picks and bestseller selections. The independent bookshop is a convenient stop on Elm Street for choosing a new read, exploring recommendations or finding a book to give as a gift. Gift cards offer an alternative when you are unsure what the recipient already owns.
The shop’s calendar includes author appearances and book events, with some programs held away from the store. Open the individual event listing before making plans: registration, venue, signing arrangements and cancellations can differ by event. If you have a particular title in mind, contact the booksellers before traveling to check its availability. A visit fits easily into a downtown morning or afternoon, close to the train station and neighboring shops.
