If you want to pick up a book to read on the beaches, or are looking for a gift for that literary friend of yours, then you must make a stop at the Book Barn located at 41 West Main Street. The name may sound cheesy, but this is a quirky book lover’s dream. There are so many books here you might need a cat’s nine lives to finish them all. Speaking of cats, you will see over 10 happy fat cats who roam freely at the Book Barn. (Yes, that means just what it says…beware if you have allergies!) You will also find rows and rows, and rooms upon rooms of fantastic book finds. Enjoy free treats like coffee, tea, hot chocolate and snacks. Find a seat and curl up with a snack, a book, and maybe even a purring kitty at your feet.
