Readers Realm Gallery of New & Gently-Used Books, Gifts and Whimsy

04/20/2026

Readers Realm Books, Gifts & Whimsy is now closed.

Thank you to all my loyal customers over the past twelve years. It was my pleasure to serve you and I truly enjoyed getting to know all of you--many who became close friends. You helped make my dream a success and I couldn’t have done it without you. I will miss you but hope to see you out and about around town.

I am especially grateful to the Readers of the Realm Book Club who met every month and gave me a great send-off. If anyone is interested, you can join them at their new home, the Montello Library, on the second Monday of the month at 1 p.m.

Please patronize the new owners and their antique mall—Divine Antiques and Collectibles. It will be a great addition to the community. I wish them success in their new venture.

Thank you for all the well-wishes for a happy retirement.

Cheers,
Kathleen
