Reading in Public Bookstore + Cafe is a people-centric independent bookstore that celebrates the love of reading and the human experience. We put a strong emphasis on mental health + social advocacy in all areas of Reading in Public ("RinP").

We are built on the belief that life is composed of stories. Sharing them can foster more empathy, acceptance, and sense of community in our lives. We advocate for the cultivation of a better + more just world.
