Wolperdinger Bookends now open
PUTNAM — Wolperdinger Bookends is a traditional community bookstore offering new books, merchandise and programs for all ages and all stages, according to founder Dr. Kathy Naumann.
But more than this, it offers a space for patrons to experience the magic, wonder, intrigue and happiness of books. And it all starts with the name... A wolperdinger is a mythical hybrid creature who lives in the Bavarian Forest. In considering a unique yet appropriately descriptive name for a place filled with books, wolperdinger fit perfectly. And, of course, we also have a fun assortment of bookends, she said.
Wolperdinger Bookends carries all the traditional book genres for readers from all ages including mystery, romance, biography, self-help, new release best sellers and more.  
That’s the joy of having a bookstore where you can see and touch the books because that’s exactly what a book was written for. But, she said, at Wolperdinger Bookends, we know that books are more than just books. Books are also stories, ready to be experienced and shared.
She added: “So, just as carefully as we curate our book collection, so too do we curate our calendar and social opportunities.  Wolperdinger Bookends offers story time for children in our Tot Spot, often featuring “celebrity” readers from the community. We have regularly scheduled book discussions in our canopy space. And if you can’t attend in person, no worries because you can engage in the discussion from the comfort of your home by participating through Zoom. Every month, we provide a topic for adolescents to journal about. More than that, we provide journaling supplies and space for them because you never know who or where or what inspires a new writer. We feature local authors in our store and look forward to inviting them in for a reading. And for novices and veterans alike, we are bringing back a pertinent version of the popular poetry slam! And there is more to come…”
Wolperdinger Bookends is at 112 Main St. downtown. Business Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. www.wolperdinger.shop. email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
