Last month we took a trip to the Chicago area for our niece's wedding, and the charming suburb we stayed in had an indie bookstore in the downtown area that of course I had to visit!
The Bookstore of Glen Ellyn has been open since 1960 (!) and although it has gone through a few owners and even some name changes, it has remained a staple of the community.
The bookstore is bright and friendly; they were getting ready for a sale, so that's why all the boxes are around! In addition to books, they have some other trinkets and gifts, like socks and puzzles.
The bookstore has all the major genres represented, and Henry enjoyed the large selection of kids' books!
Very nice! I love little independent bookstores and try to visit at least one each time we take a trip. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I'm always on the lookout for them.
DeleteThat looks like a really nice bookstore!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great small-town bookstore!
DeleteLook at Henry shopping for books!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, he had a lot of fun!
DeleteWhat an adorable bookstore! I haven't been to Chicago in years (I also went for a family wedding) and I just adored the town and the suburbs. Will have to remember this bookstore for our next visit!
ReplyDeleteWe hadn't been there in probably 6 years, so it was nice to explore with Henry!
