A Book Place — Local services in Town of Riverhead

We are absolutely thrilled to have this delightful local book shop come to our Main Street! The shop is full of gems - wonderful books and gift items made by local artisans.

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this gem!! What an awesome book store. It’s super cute and offers a lot of local artist items. The owner loves what she does and is very friendly.
