According to The New York Times, more bookstores are opening for business in the U.S. as more people want “real recommendations from real people.”

In the article by Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth A. Harris, hundreds of new independent bookstores have sprouted across the United States since the pandemic.

There’s a new bookstore opening in Trumbull County, hoping to be the next favorite spot for local readers seeking book recommendations and gifts.

Take a trip to Papa’s Book Shoppe at 193 West Main St. in Cortland.

This family-run bookstore opened this month with shelves of books to get lost in.

Some genres include children’s fiction, young adult fiction, adult non-fiction, cooking, art history, first-editions and periodicals.

Browse the music, media, local artisan craft sections and bargain books.

The bookstore is open 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Saturday.
