She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

There are certainly no shortage of charming small towns in New York. We’ve got so many cute little Main Streets that you could spend every weekend stopping by a different one and not hit them all. One particularly unique small town that we love is Hobart. This little village in Delaware County has a population of under 500, but what Hobart lacks in population, it more than makes up for in book shops.
Ever heard of a book town? You'll find it in Hobart, New York! Hobart's Book Village is exactly what it sounds like: an entire village designed with bibliophiles in mind, filled with used book stores.
With a 5,000-square-foot store, Liberty Rocks has just about everything you could want. It's been around since 1976 and carries a wide variety of antique books, kids books, and books from all genres.

The stores have reasonable prices and are a particularly great spot for budding readers. Most of the stores on Main Street carry plenty of offerings for young readers.

Creative Corner Books is a unique bookstore that focuses primarily on cookbooks and DIY books. If you're looking to perfect a craft, or learn about a new one, this is a great spot to do it!

Looking for antique books you might not be able to find anywhere else? The delightful Wm. H. Adams Antiquarian Books is the spot for you. They've got all kinds of classics from decades and even centuries ago.
