"It might be cheaper to go online; it might be easier to go online," Patti Vunk, owner of the Dolphin Bookshop, told the New York Times, but Port Washington residents "want us to be here."
In a profile of the Long Island community, the Times noted that three years ago, "local supporters helped pack books and relocate the shop. For much of its 67-year history, it had been in a strip close to the high school; today, with its fans' backing, it has found congenial space in a revamped historic building close to the town dock on Manhasset Bay." Now Dolphin "captures the artsy aura and sense of community that define Port Washington."
