Wickford Village Books has been the literary heart of this storybook Rhode Island harbor village since 1994, occupying a converted colonial-era house on Main Street that feels less like a store and more like browsing a well-read friend's personal library. Owner Catherine Russo has an unerring eye for literary fiction, and her selections regularly anticipate major prize winners months before the announcements. The children's section fills a sunny side room and hosts some of the most popular storytime sessions in Washington County. A small cafe nook near the entrance serves tea, coffee, and scones, and the entire store is warmed by a working fireplace during the colder months. The shop's deep connections to Wickford's thriving arts community are evident in the rotating gallery wall and the regular author and artist events that bring the village together throughout the year.
