The Book Emporium RI

The Book Emporium RI is a family-owned business established in 2023, beginning with our signature Blind Date with a Book. As our love for books—and our customers’ love for all things bookish—continued to grow, we expanded into a one-stop pop-up shop for book lovers. Along with our Blind Date with a Book selection, we carry book sleeves, book covers, bookmarks, tote and crossbody bags, bookish apparel, stickers, keychains, page holders, annotation accessories, and other fun gifts for readers. We’re always adding new items and seasonal finds to keep our selection fresh. While The Book Emporium RI may have started in 2023, our family has been part of the local craft and vendor circuit for many years. Our sister business, Coast 2 Coasters RI, was established in 2015, giving us more than a decade of experience participating in craft fairs, markets, festivals, and pop-up events throughout Rhode Island and the surrounding area. What started with one fun idea—wrapping up books and letting readers choose their next read based only on a few clues—has grown into a family business centered around our shared love of books, creativity, and connecting with our customers.
