For over thirty years, Explore Booksellers (located on 221 East Main Street open 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.) has been a treasured spot for locals and vacationers alike. Set in an eclectic Victorian house, Explore offers a rare book section, a shaded outdoor patio and author events almost daily. “Where you’ll find not only the bestsellers, but frequently the authors who wrote them – signing books, browsing, or perched on one of the step stools we use to reach the upper shelves catching up on their own reading. Where each book-lined room offers the excitement of finding something important, engaging, enriching… a place to Explore,” says the Explore website. Can’t find the book you are looking for? Just visit their website, and order the book online.
