Literally Books is a curated book nook at Water Street Market in New Paltz NY.  We sell new releases, cult classics, children's books and activities, and the occasional rare book. Our selection includes current bestsellers and popular nonfiction complemented by smaller-press titles and an erudite backlist. We also sell journals, greeting cards, and gifts for readers. And, of course, stickers. 

Open Daily
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
