The Book Ladies

All About Us

In 2015 Book Ladies Eileen and Erica (mother and daughter) set out to find a place to hold the many thousands of books which would soon be coming their way. They stumbled across the Mount Carmel Farmer's Market in Atlas and placed a stand there, looking to see what kind of interest the area would have in books. The results were fantastic. Week after week people from the community and elsewhere would stop in to scan the stacks for the latest finds. Every Saturday the Book Ladies would meet wonderful people with a love of books, those with a passing interest, some that were buying a gift for a lover of books, and the most fun ones....those looking to get back into reading 🙂 Thus began the search for a permanent building. After many years of renovation and work it is time to open the doors on Secondhand Rows. Even though the doors are opening on our Oak Street location the Ladies will still be found at the Farmer's Market running the E&E Bookstand.

Please explore this webpage or our Facebook page to see how our store credit program works. Stop by either location or send an email/Facebook message to tell us what authors or genres of books you are looking for; we have a system in place that will tell us when we receive books you are trying to find. We can't wait to see you and hear what your latest read was!
