Our founder, Joan Drury, passed away in 2020. Her reading tastes are still very much present in the bookstore. In her own words, this is how she described the books she loved so much:

"I love reading more than anything else. I primarily read fiction as I love stories, but I do read some non-fiction too, especially biographies. Mysteries are my favorite books. In addition, I read novels about the wives of famous men, WWII novels, stories that take place in the first half of the twentieth century, and stories that deal with cultures other than my own."
