The Neverending Story, a 1,000-square-foot bookstore with titles for all ages, opened earlier this month in Babylon, N.Y., Newsday reported.
Located at 9 W. Main St., Neverending Story stocks a wide-ranging general-interest inventory, along with vinyl albums, vintage bookends, and an assortment of other gifts. Store owner Colleen Kinneary first welcomed customers on Saturday, January 6.
"I want to make it really accessible and have price points that are affordable," Kinneary told Newsday. "I am very cognizant of the fact that when people come into small shops like this, they can feel intimidated or overwhelmed, especially if they don't know exactly what they are looking for. My job is to make them feel comfortable."
Going forward, Kinneary plans to expand the bookstore's selection while also starting an events program. Before opening Neverending Story, she worked as a book buyer for a number of museums and eventually thought: "Why not do it for myself?"
