In 2008, Robyn Ringler opened East Line Books to create a gathering place where people in the community could share their love of literature and writing.

 

East Line Books has over 10,000 new, used, and out of print books at affordable prices. Genres include literary and popular fiction, suspense, U.S. and world history, politics, journalism, social issues, science, philosophy, contemporary and vintage mystery, classics, religion, poetry, biography and memoir, cookbooks, how to write and publish, travel, sports, pets, science fiction and fantasy, drama, art and photography, and more. East Line Books also stocks an extensive collection of books for children and young adults.

 

If you love mass market paperbacks, our back room is filled with them--most are like new for only $2.50 each!  Stop and pour yourself a free cup of hot coffee or tea or, in the summertime, a refreshing glass of iced cold tea or lemonade.  At East Line Books, we want you to feel at home.

 

Our cozy, comfortable bookshop is the perfect place to drop in, browse for a treasure, lounge in an easy chair with a free cup of coffee or tea and read a book or sit in our cozy classroom to write or search the net on your laptop through our WIFI.

 

East Line Books sponsors events like author signings, speakers, book clubs, workshops, and even comedy shows by the local Improv Club and open mic nights for local writing groups like the Mavens of Mayhem and WomanWords. 

 

East Line Books hosts a monthly book club and creative writing classes for adults, teens and children.  During the school year, we sponsor creative writing classes for homeschoolers, a poetry circle for adults, and--the highlight--our six-week personal essay/memoir class.
