Crawford's Books

A neighborhood bookstore promoting and fostering a love of reading through new and used books.

"Don't you know that everybody's got a Fairyland of their own?" —Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers

Crawford's Books is taking on the biggest challenge and the greatest reward... keeping young adults, kids, and children reading books. We believe that a good book can inspire a child to answer,

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” These beautiful words are from Mary Oliver's poem, "The Summer Day."

And So She Did

The Richard's Family

They traditionally start a vacation by checking out the local bookstore, each purchasing a new book for the week and then they head out to the beach for a day of reading. Until one day, the story changed. Sue walked into her neighborhood bookstore owned by Jim and Joyce Crawford and said, "When you are ready to sell, please keep us in mind." Jim shared with Sue they had discussed retirement that morning! Two months later, the Crawford's retired and the Richard's family began living the life... inspired by their love of books, family, and their neighborhood.
