Sunday 5napshot: Cherry Street Books


Family fun on Independent Bookstore Day brought me to Alexandria, Minnesota.
I was thankful it did, because that led me to a gem of a bookstore, Cherry Street Books.

With a fabulous selection of kidlit and friendly, book loving staff, this indie is a must visit if you are ever in the area.
