Thanks to Secretary Gina Raimondo for bringing VP Kamala Harris to Books on the Square, and for saying, "This is my neighborhood store. The best place ever."  We really appreciate your recommendation and thanks for putting the spotlight on local, independent businesses!

If you're wondering, here is what the VP bought from us: Simply Julia: 110 Easy Recipes for Healthy Comfort Food by Julia Turshen, Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, The Topeka School by Ben Lerner, and The Dutch House by Ann Patchett.  Happy reading, VP!
