Since 1929, the Penguin Bookshop has been a fixture and a vital community institution in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. It is a favorite local bookstore, described as small but mighty and the absolute best in PA. The shop offers a well-curated and extensive collection of fiction and non-fiction for all ages, always up to date with new releases and viral books. It also carries journals, cards, newspapers, and magazines. The staff are passionate, friendly, and helpful. They engage with customers, make thoughtful recommendations, and help find or order any book. They are a favorite part of the experience for many visitors. The shop itself is adorable with a cute kids area featuring a large tree and twinkle lights. It serves as a great literary resource and a vibrant part of the community, often hosting events like book signings.

I love supporting independent bookshops, particularly local ones. Whenever I want to send my Pittsburgh family a book, I turn to Penguin. Their communication is thorough and fast, and they always have the books I want. They're the best!

Adorable bookshop with a cute kids area with large tree and twinkle lights. I was there for a book signing of Jessica Whipple's new children's book, Enough Is. It was a great experience!
