"My absolute favorite bookstore! Main Point Books has everything: great books for all ages, well informed salespeople, comfortable chairs, a cozy kids corner, interesting displays, big bright windows, and lots of author events. I’ve been especially impressed with their covid safety protocol: indoor masking, curbside pick ups, and an easy to use website for online orders, including wrapping. (My photos are pre-pandemic) Wayne is a fun setting too, a great town to spend an afternoon. It’s well worth a detour!"
