Stacey Toon at the Ocean Village Bookstore
Road to Responsibility (RTR), one of the region’s largest and most successful non-profit organizations, recently announced that Ocean Village Bookstore, a division of Road to Responsibility, Inc., has now reopened while adhering to all safety and social distancing protocols.
On average, the Ocean Village Bookstore has over 20,000 titles of used books, all donated by the generous villagers throughout the South Shore. Over 6,000 of those titles can be found in the bookstore’s Children’s Corner, which includes everything from story and board books to early chapter, independent reader, and young adult literature.
The Ocean Village Bookstore also features every genre of fiction with ample back catalogs of popular authors, as well as non-fiction and local sections. CDs, DVDs, and books on disc are all also available.
All proceeds go toward Road to Responsibility, and many RTR individuals are also employed by the bookstore. Donations are also now being accepted by appointment.
“We believe that books are essential, especially during such challenging times,” said Stacey Toon, manager of the Ocean Village Bookstore. “It is a privilege to promote literacy for young and old alike.”
“The Ocean Village Bookstore is a hidden jewel, and we’re thrilled to be able to announce its reopening,” added Christopher T. White, Ed.D., president and CEO of Road To Responsibility, Inc. “We have implemented all the necessary safety procedures and social distancing protocols to make sure our employees and our patrons can come, enjoy the bookstore, and most importantly stay safe.”
The Ocean Village Bookstore is located at 1831 Ocean Street in Marshfield. For more information, please call (781) 834-5696, email ovbooks@rtrinc.org, or visit https://www.facebook.com/
