Shop Small with Big Hearts

We have a lot to be thankful for this year: our bookshop celebrates its 5th year in Glastonbury (fresh into our new home at 2400 Main St.) while River Bend West Hartford turns 1 this Small Business Saturday!

(Come back and celebrate that birthday next weekend.)

Thanks to you for keeping our doors open by spending your time locally with us and investing in keeping your neighborhood bookshop close to home.

Support ours and other small businesses around town this holiday season.

Thanks for shopping small

and being loyal to local!

We are closed Thursday, but…


Come out and celebrate Book Friday and Small Business Saturday with us!

The first 25 customers Saturday at each shop will get doorbuster prizes.


Then, next week kicks off our new holiday hours, so that means more time to grab gifts for friends, family & yourself! Join us again on Mondays + late on Thursdays.


And the fun doesn't end there, we'll be hosting some more holiday fun in both shops:

River Bend Limited Edition Holiday Totes are Back!

Just in case you missed it in our Holiday Catalog, holiday tote bags are back — with NEW special bookseller designs from Mary & Ernio! Just spend more than $75 in the shop and receive one of 4 limited edition canvas bags — while supplies last.

(Gifting yourself the tote is acceptable and highly encouraged.)

Happy shopping from your friends at River Bend Bookshop!
