Open today and then Tuesday for the last shopping before the new year, and Casey is stationed at the store donning one of our very own Little Bee Bookshop stickers! We are stocked with plenty of belated-gift-options, so come on in!

Look at what you all did! (And this is less than half of them – I just forgot to take a picture before this 😅)

We made our list and now we’re checking it twice before we deliver the giving tree books this afternoon! thank you once again for bringing the gift of reading to so many children in our community. Happy holidays to all! ❤️❄️🎁📚

The snow is beginning to fall and we’ve just closed up after a festive day. THANK YOU for our busiest holiday season yet and for the encouragement and warmth you’ve brought with you as you entered our little shop. From our family to yours, we wish you peace, joy and good health. Happy Holidays!! 🎄🎁❤️

To our wonderful family, friends, and neighbors, we wish you all a Very Mery Christmas, and a safe and prosperous New Year!

We can’t express enough, our love and appreciation for the people of Ayer, Shirley, Groton, Harvard, Littleton, and the surrounding communities for supporting us for 16 years!

We are open on December 24 until we run out of supplies. Today was busier than expected so we may not make it long into the evening. We love being a part of this community and thank you for making it possible. The Cottage will re-open on January 1 and look forward to seeing you again after a much needed vacation.

God bless you all and treasure the time you have as it is short and never enough!

See you next year!
