Village Lights Bookstore
We’ve been to quaint, adorable Madison, Indiana, just twice … once for an entire weekend, and once for little more than an hour. But on both visits, we’ve found lots of reasons to enjoy the delightful Village Lights Bookstore.
First, it’s right on Main Street, in a beautifully renovated storefront.
There are multiple rooms of new and used books on the main floor, a cozy meeting / reading room on the second floor with tons of window light, and a fantasy corner at the top of the stairs …
There’s a child-sized reading nook under the stairs.
And at the back of the shop’s main floor, the Twain Room is somehow both large and extraordinarily cozy, with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a grand piano.
Best of all? They have not one, not two, but three resident cats, and a bookstore dog.
Hi, there! I’m Jennifer, and I help too-busy-to-read bookworms and those who want to *be* readers maximize life’s simple joys — like reading a good book — by helping them create quiet spaces (mentally and physically) inspired by the habits of cats, who are masters at finding joy in life’s small details.
