Tinker Street Books

Tinker Street Books channels the creative energy that has defined Woodstock for over a century, offering a bookstore experience unlike any other in the Hudson Valley. The music history section is the obvious draw, spanning everything from ethnomusicology to rock memoirs, but the store's appeal runs much deeper. The counterculture and spirituality sections reflect Woodstock's ongoing role as a sanctuary for alternative thinking, while the contemporary fiction picks show sophisticated literary taste. Vintage concert posters and album covers decorate every wall, creating an atmosphere that feels like browsing a friend's incredibly cool library. The store hosts readings, acoustic performances, and art openings that keep Woodstock's creative community connected year-round.
