Oblong Books (Millerton)

Oblong Books in Millerton has been a community cornerstone since 1975, offering a vast selection of books for all ages, along with gifts, toys, and educational materials. With a commitment to supporting local schools, libraries, and nonprofits, Oblong has become a hub for readers and learners of all ages. Through their two locations (Millerton and Rhinebeck), they host over 100 events annually, including author signings at farmers markets and school visits. The store also participates in advocacy efforts such as Banned Books Week. I think my favorite book I found at Oblong is my copy of Tara Booth's graphic novel "Processing: 100 Comics That Got Me Through It". What it’s known for: Wide-ranging book selection, community events, and partnerships with local schools and organizations.
