ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Everything from Best Sellers to pop-up books, 2SLGBTQIA+ authors to quintessential classics, this is a bookstore that aspires to inspire connection, conversation and a love of words, thinking and expanding your mind.

The space itself - I went for the Grand Opening on Wednesday November 6th - is gorgeous, with high ceilings, lots of natural light and incredible shelves and shelving, designed and created by artist, maker, and Alison’s husband, Tim Richards. The whole space is airy, flowing and really fresh! In addition, there’s a great selection of books, there are also great gift type stock from puzzles, bookmarks, notebooks, Riverside
