Quaint little book store nestled away. Lots of books about the island and unique gifts. We make sure to stop every time we are on the island.

Thank you for helping find all my books. This shop is great with lots of neat things. I am really enjoying the Ghost and Legends of the Carolina coast. I'm going to save the The Wish for home. Great place to get all the books you need

Quaint little bookshop with a friendly and helpful staff. Great place to pop in to get a book for the casual beach read!
Tucked away on the corner of Hwy 12 under the live oaks and shaded cedar trees, Books to be Red's quaint 1898 cottage on has become known for its delightful selection of books, handcrafted items, and unique gifts. As Ocracoke Island's only full-service, independent bookstore with a wonderful variety of new, used, regional books. We carry the latest titles in fiction, non-fiction, children’s literature, cookbooks, and historical books. Just like a good book, our shop is a place where you can relax, slow down, and get lost in all of the treasures around you. Our bookstore also functions as a charming gift shop and features local Deepwater pottery, handcrafted jewelry, candles, and soaps.
