Books To Be Red is a quaint, cozy, and charming independent bookstore and gift shop on Ocracoke Island. Tucked away under the live oaks and shaded cedar trees, it is known for its delightful and great selection of books. This includes new, regional, local, and latest titles across fiction, non-fiction, children’s literature, cookbooks, historical books, and classics. The shop also functions as a gift shop featuring unique, handcrafted items, local Deepwater pottery, jewelry, candles, soaps, art supplies, and souvenirs. It offers a wonderful variety, including blind date books. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store provides shipping services. Visitors are encouraged to be patient during busy summer periods due to the small footprint. It is a place to relax, slow down, and get lost in the treasures.
