Established with an early-years focus through offerings such as school supplies and children's books, Magrudy’s grew to accommodate the growing demand for new reads. Initially covering mother and child titles, cookery, and other similar categories, the store soon expanded and founded more branches, catering to bibliophiles with popular genres like fiction, thrillers, comics, and more.
Maintaining a high regard for learning, the store features several books to power the brain on its shelves. These are complemented by a wide variety of items that help with creativity and the educational process, from stationery and cards to toys and arts and crafts accessories. Committed to its mission to make reading the city’s favorite pastime, Magrudy often runs book clubs, signings, and partnerships with schools. It has also played an influential role in encouraging all age groups in the community to come together.
