Saturday Spotlight with Big Red Books

Why did you start your business?
When we saw that Richie was leaving, we knew immediately that we couldn't let the store close. As a family that loves books, we believe having a local independent bookstore is so important. We wanted to create a space to discover something new, find an old favorite, and feel connected to the community around you.
What does your business offer?
In addition to selling books, we also have a small selection of carefully curated toys, games, and apparel. We are also getting ready to start serving coffee and pastries. We just finished a renovation of the outdoor space and will begin hosting community events.
What makes your business special/different?
We are three sisters with completely different backgrounds, each bringing different things to the table. Books are one of the things that keep us connected, and we hope to bring that love of reading and foster connections within the community.
Who is your target customer?
Everyone! We hope people of all ages find a love for books and reading.
What made you choose Nyack as the location for your business?
We are all living in and raising families in Nyack, and wanted to be a part of and support our home community.
Where do you see your business in the future?
Beyond the books, we want Big Red to continue as a space for people to connect. From author readings and book clubs to story times, workshops, live music, and community events, our goal is to bring people together and support the writers, artists, families, schools, and organizations that make Nyack special.

Do you have any events or promotions coming up?
We have a children's book launch with author and illustrator @samwedelich coming up on 10/18. A few more in the works…

It’s Banned Books Week.

This year’s theme is Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.

All week, we’ll be highlighting books that have been banned or challenged — from classics to children’s and YA books to contemporary favorites — and the reasons they’ve been targeted.
