Such a lovely book store on the junction. They have a great variety of books, a large kids section along with events like book clubs, children's story readings on the weekends, author signings, and fun deals around some holidays or special events. They also provide free gift wrapping, and offer to send books and gift cards to anyone in the United States on your behalf! Whenever I want to order a book, I do it through the Paper Boat Booksellers instead of Amazon. Support your local bookstores!!

Wonderful store with excellent selection, helpful staff, and a wide variety of books and gifts. Paper Boat is a true gem of the neighborhood! They recently moved into this location, but it already feels like they're meant to be there. I go to a lot of bookstores, and you don't always see such a thoughtful curation of titles across so many different genres. This is the perfect bookstore to visit if you need a gift for someone, or just to get out of a reading slump. They even have great non-book items for purchase (stickers, cards, etc.) And the staff give excellent recommendations! I appreciate that there are always enough people working that you don't feel like you're overwhelming them when you ask a question. Paper Boat has a lot of community events--so check out their calendar too!

Paperboat is everything you want a local bookstore to be. It cozy, friendly, has a great selection, and the staff is knowledgeable. The neighborhood is lucky to have this gem of a shop.

Too crammed in...especially on Saturdays. Not a comfortable book store...books on tables laid out awkwardly...have to move book to be readable. Little spaces are not comfortable for anyone with low vision.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
