Downtown Toms River Is Getting a New Locally Owned Bookstore, Aurelia’s Nook

Downtown Toms River is constantly evolving and changing, and one of my favorite things to do is write about those changes.

In the past few weeks alone, we've seen Glizzy's By Harry open downtown, as well as the Bunny Haven Cafe, and now a third new business is getting ready to open downtown; readers are going to go nuts for this one!

Aurelia's Nook Is Coming Soon To Downtown Toms River, NJ

Aurelia's Nook is getting ready to open inside the Shops on Main, at 53 Main Street in Toms River, and this locally owned book shop is going to be a cool addition to the downtown area. I spoke with the owner and am excited about this new business.

What Types Of Books And Merchandise Will Aurelia's Nook Sell?

Aurelia's Nook is going to focus on fantasy and romance novels, which are probably the two most popular genres right now, and will also sell things like candles, tote bags, scrubs, and other little "book-related" merchandise.

Why Aurelia's Nook Isn't Like Other Book Stores In The Area

Aurelia's Nook got its start as a mobile book shop, owned and operated by Billy, who started the mobile book store after she left the corporate world. Aurelia's Nook will focus on authors and titles that are a little more unique, and you may not find at your big-box bookstore.

When Is Aurelia's Nook Opening In Downtown Toms River, NJ?

Aurelia's Nook is looking to open sometime in October, just in time for Fall, and the store is also going to look into hosting local community events like book clubs, girls' nights, and local author signings.

I, for one, am really excited to see a locally owned and operated bookstore open up downtown. I think it's going to be a really cool addition to the area, and something a little different.
