Keeping the local book store experience alive is Forster’s Book Garden, an independent bookstore in Bolton catering to locals’ book and movie needs since 1998. The bookstore has over 15,000 titles in stock and carries books in fiction, science, history, picture books, graphic novels, and curriculum materials, among others.

The store also has about 600 movies in stock, along with gifts, games, and puzzles. If you don’t know what you’re looking for or want to try something new, feel free to come to have a chat with the store workers, and they’ll be happy to help you out! And if all of this isn’t enough to convince you to drop by, the store’s greeter, a very enthusiastic dog named Sterling, will definitely pull you in!
