Riverrun Bookstore

Riverrun Bookstore has become the literary soul of Portsmouth since opening in 2007, earning a devoted following for its smart curation and tireless author programming. The exposed-brick interior creates an intimate atmosphere that makes conversations about books feel natural and necessary. Despite its modest size, the store hosts over one hundred author events per year, attracting writers of national prominence to Portsmouth's compact downtown. The graphic novel section is one of the best in New Hampshire, and the music writing shelf reflects Portsmouth's thriving live music scene. The store's commitment to independent and small-press publishing means customers regularly discover voices they would never encounter elsewhere.
