About Canio´s

Imagine stepping through the door of a 19th-century Italianate home into a cozy room filled with interesting books. The wooden floor creaks and an overstuffed chair beckons. Co-owners Kathryn Szoka, photographer, and Maryann Calendrille, writer and editor welcome you to Canio´s Books where specially selected literary fiction and non-fiction, art, and photography entice the curious reader.

Shelves are bursting with a fine selection of literary children´s books, nature titles, food books, spirituality, literary biography and memoir, and environmental interest. An entire wall is devoted to poetry.

Enjoy meeting a wide range of authors, and local artists at weekend readings and exhibitions. Kathryn and Maryann also run workshops on photography and writing.

Established in 1980 by Canio Pavone, the bookshop features new, used and collectible books and is well known as a literary gathering place.
Visit the shop to discover why customers call Canio´s "a real bookshop." Our knowledgeable staff is eager to make recommendations.

Events all year round.

Photography and Writing workshops in fiction, essay, memoir, and poetry are offered.
