About Canio´s

Established in 1980 by Canio Pavone, the bookshop features new, used and collectible books and is well known as a literary gathering place. An entire wall devoted to poetry comprises one of the largest collections on Long Island. Specialties include literary fiction and non-fiction, art, and photography. Shelves are bursting with a fine selection of children´s books, nature titles, food books, spirituality, literary biography and memoir, and environmental interest. Since October 1999, Maryann Calendrille and Kathryn Szoka have continued Canio´s tradition of hosting a wide range of authors, and featuring exceptional local artwork.

Visit the shop to discover why customers call Canio´s "a real bookshop." Shelves are crammed with books worth reading; our knowledgeable staff is eager to make recommendations. Events on Saturdays at 6 p.m. The art gallery features changing exhibits and receptions in summer. Photography and Writing workshops in fiction, essay, memoir, and poetry are offered. Expert picture framing services and editorial consultation also available.
