The First Page was founded in 2002 with the intent to provide the local community with a new and much improved source of quality and unique reading material for children, in a child-friendly, community atmosphere which includes special events such as visiting authors, storytime, and creative activities.

With the purpose of providing the finest in children's literature, we carry only hand selected titles from large, small and independent publishers. In addition, we organize our sections by age group and display the majority of our books face-out so you can see the cover - all for easy shopping.

In addition to books, we stock a wide variety of specialized complementary and/or educational toy and gift items. Examples of our non-book merchandise include book character dolls, such as Madeline and Curious George, science projects in a bottle, flower-press kits, journals, clothing, puzzles, and travel activities.

Pick a book about art and pair with it a paint set, and you have the perfect gift. Or a pirate book with a pirate figurine. Or even a princess book and a glass-slipper lip gloss. From ballerina to intergalactic, we can put together a winning gift for almost any theme!

Our outstanding and well-read staff is available to recommend a book for any age group. We also provide free gift wrap and can ship anywhere in the United States. In a hurry? Call ahead and we will have the perfect gift wrapped and waiting.

The First Page intends to do more than merely sell a child his or her first book. We strive to provide a supportive framework for the child, the family, and the community to encourage reading and learning.
