Toys are available for in store shoppers only. Feel free to contact us for in stock availability and gift suggestions. Main Street is planning on adding a line of Schylling toys (classic metal toys) prior to the 2007 Christmas season-- as well as some literature themed gifts.

Local Art:
As a strong supporter of the local artist community, Main Street Books consigns art work from local artists. This includes a selection of beautiful blank watercolor cards with local scenery, watercolor prints, unique one-of-a-kind journals made from recucled materials, computer generated artwork and much, much more.

The store is comfortable and unique -- from the page/art wallpaper throughout the store, to the big red leather seating area by the classics, and on to the hand-drawn map on the wall behind the big red leather couch.

Main Street Books encourages browsing and book clubs and small groups to gather in the store.

Val Stadick, owner of Main Street Books, is committed to the mission that "Main Street Books is community first--whether it be hosting events, fundraising, or just offering a comfortable chair for an elderly patron to sit down and rest . . . this is what being and shopping local means."
