Inquiring Minds is a welcoming indie bookstore just off Main Street where booklovers can lose themselves for hours. Crammed floor to ceiling with new releases, classics, children’s books, and a well-curated selection of used books, the shop truly has something for everyone. Cozy nooks invite you to sit and sample a chapter, and a small in-house cafe serves coffee and pastries to enjoy while you read. The store is a community nexus too – hosting author readings, book signings, open mic nights, and children’s storytime on weekends. Staff picks and handwritten reviews dot the shelves, reflecting the knowledgeable employees’ passion for stories. Open daily (often late), Inquiring Minds Bookstore is more than a retail shop – it’s a bastion of culture and conversation in New Paltz.
