With two convenient locations on Elmwood Avenue and Main Street, this independent bookstore has been serving the local community for more than 30 years. Unlike the sterile, commercial feeling of many larger, new bookstores, Talking Leaves has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. There are huge, comfortable areas in which to browse through magazines, books, and other reading items. You'll also find sections for philosophy, literary criticism, music, history, and even a psychoanalytic section. On select days, the bookstores hosts a number of book signings with local authors.
