The Outer Banks is back up and running with relatively no damage from Hurricane Florence. Duck's Cottage is open daily from 7am to 6pm. Downtown Books is open Monday through Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sundays 11-4.  We are keeping our neighbors to the south in New Bern, Wilmington, Wrightsville and beyond close to our hearts. Thanks so much for everyone's concern during this time.. we truly appreciate your support of both our small businesses. As always, please remember to shop small even when shopping online for both your coffee and reading needs.
