                 A Different Kind of Bookstore
As a small-town independent bookstore, we know and value our community.   At The Annapolis Bookstore we'll know your name and where your children go to school.  Yes,  we'll buy your girl scout cookies or help you find that book of poetry to woo a special someone.  We'll probably know that special someone.  We've seen marriage proposals, birthday surprises, and first steps.  Our passion for stories extends beyond the brilliant work of the authors that grace our shelves to the many tales that walk in our door, tales of where you've been and who you are.  The heart of  The Annapolis Bookstore is people and the books that open the world to all of us.  We are your community bookstore but we can't do it without you.  Keep the heart beating.  Become a member.  

"[The] Annapolis Bookstore, get to know it.  It's a charming space. It's not made of gingerbread or carved from a giant walnut but it feels like it is ..."                                                                                   Rocky Jones, poet
