Westwinds Bookshop, Duxbury, Mass., "is that special place where everyone knows your name," the Clipper observed in its profile of a bookstore that "has been a pillar of the Duxbury community for 65 years."
Co-owners Lydia and Doug Hart purchased Westwinds last spring when it was in danger of closing. "Neither of us knows anything about retail," said Lydia. "All we wanted to do was keep it open. It was an investment in the community." The Harts moved the shop and completely renovated the new location. "It's now an open and airy space with wide aisles, lots of natural light and a loft," the Clipper wrote.
"Every indie bookstore is so great because it reflects its community," said store manager Brooke McDonough. "And this is a great community."
