Marian Adducci and Gigi Reinheimer have opened a children’s independent bookstore in Walnut Creek, California. All ages will enjoy Flashlight Books, as they carry adult books, too.  The bookstore hosts author events, offers a tutoring space, and has activities for pre-teens and teens.

Visit them at 1537 N. Main Street and www.flashlightbooks.com and support independent bookstores, where people know and love books and nurture that passion in their community.
