We loved The Next Chapter. We found two wonderful classic children's books, a gently used book, and a local author who had penned a fun summer read! We enjoyed the local art and found some fun bookmarks. Everything was reasonably priced and we enjoyed meeting Derby the book store cat.

Love this little store in downtown New Bern! We go through a lot of children's books and this is a great option for us to purchase gently used books and donate the ones we're done with!
