Reader's Cafe Book Signing
Join me at Reader’s Cafe in Hanover, one of my favorite local, small-town bookshops.
Owners, Derf and MaryAnn, opened the Reader’s Café about 25 years ago. They opened because there was no where in town that you could sit down, read a book, and enjoy a good coffee. They picked a renovated church and made it a bookstore. And it is a wonderful place for the community!
