Why we're here

More than a bookstore

Community first

We're a gathering place — for book clubs, story times, author events, and anyone who just wants a good recommendation.

For All Fictionkind

We carry all sorts of books, but fiction is our specialty — from babies to adults, with stories for every kind of reader.

Independently owned

We're a small, family-run shop — and we think that matters. When you shop here, you're supporting something real.

The reading nook at Dragonfly Bookshop — green wingback chair, red settee, and fireplace surrounded by bookshelves.

Hallowe’en Party

by Agatha Christie

But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

Get ready to figure out whodunnit, just in time for Halloween.

Heart & Magic · October

Someone You Can Build a Nest In

by John Wiswell

Discussion Wednesday, October 28 · 7:00–8:00 PM

Shesheshen has made a mistake fatal to all monsters: she’s fallen in love. A shapeshifter who happily lives as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor, she’s chased off a cliff by hunters and nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human who mistakes her for one of her own. Homily would make an ideal place to lay Shesheshen’s eggs — but as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes humans don’t think about love that way. Then Homily reveals she’s hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. A funny, tender, deliciously gruesome romance about learning to build a life with, rather than in, the love of your life.
