The newly opened Westport Book Shop is a nonprofit book store dedicated to raising funds for the Westport Public Library and employing adults with disabilities. The store contains over 5,000 gently used books in a variety of genres.
Bundled in coats and a buzz of conversation, people wait on chalk circles as cars lazily roll by and snow sloshes against the pavement. Customers chime in and out of the storefront, releasing swaths of warm air and bustling atmosphere from the interior. When you enter, a charming space greets you packed full of every manner of book, from sci-fi literature to American history and a dizzyingly nostalgic abundance of children’s books.
