For 31 years, Buttonwood Books and Toys has been a mainstay in Cohasset.
Kathy Detwiler, Buttonwood’s owner, says that the store takes its identity as an independent library very seriously.
Part of that identity is becoming immersed in the surrounding community, something Detwiler does by connecting with writers who live on and write about the South Shore.
“Our goal was always to be sort of this business rooted in the community,” Detwiler said. “We have really tried to stand by that in a lot of different venues, and part of that is supporting local authors.”
On Saturday, June 12, Buttonwood will do just that, with Local Authors Signing Day.
