In a world that feels increasingly digital and divided, stories connect us. Books invite us to be curious. To learn something new. To escape for a little while. To see the world through someone else’s eyes.

Sit and Read for Awhile
Looking for a cozy place to read? Grab a couch, settle into a comfy chair, and stay as long as you’d like. Feel free to bring your favorite drink or your furry friend, too!
A Space for Young Readers
If your little one likes trains, they’ll love our train table, a special piece of Well Read’s history donated by a longtime tenant of the building. We also have other toys ready to keep young readers entertained while you browse the shelves.
More Than Books
There’s always something new to discover at Well Read—and not just on our bookshelves. Along with the latest releases, you’ll find a rotating selection of gifts and goodies from small businesses and independent makers, including jewelry, buttons, cards, seasonal finds, and more.
Meet Our Mascot, Lewis
You'll see Lewis displayed throughout the store. The inspiration combines the Velveteen Rabbit’s love, the White Rabbit's curiosity, and Peter Rabbit's adventurous spirit. The scarf and glasses? That's just a little tribute to the kid who grew up completely obsessed with Harry Potter.
At Well Read, we believe books are treasures. Carriers of memory, imagination, wonder, truth, and connection. Lewis represents the quiet way a story can change us and the belief that something meaningful is there, just waiting to be discovered.
