Safe Harbor Books

This pleasant full-service bookstore occupies part of an old house on M-134 facing Cedarville Foods.

There's a whole room for children's books. New: hot drinks in winter for a small fee, Wi-Fi internet (limited seating). The interesting website, safe-harbor-books.com, includes regional authors, staff favorites, and many links.
