Our Business
It has always been my dream to have my own bookstore. Serenity Books & Gifts opened January 1, 2016 and fulfilled that dream. We added the coffee shop in 2018, and music in 2019. We love our little business and all of the customers who continue to make it possible to live my dream. We have some big plans for this tiny place and it seems to be a constant work in progress, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Please enjoy these photos of the progress we have made!
