Flashlight Books is an independent bookstore dedicated to promoting a sustained love of reading in children, particularly in their teen and pre-teen years. We aim to be a community-focused space that celebrates curiosity, passion, and learning, hosting events, creating a tutoring space, and running programs for kids and teens. Our goal is to capture the love and enthusiasm for reading that coaxes us to stay up for "just one more chapter" and encourage it in teens and preteens, making reading fun again.
