Neighbor Books is officially open! 📚
McKinney residents Joey and Ginny Honesko opened this traditional, independent bookstore with hopes of bringing a sense of “slowing-down” to the already historic and exquisite downtown.
With ample space for browsing and shopping, the vibe of Neighbor Books is in it’s name. When you are here, you feel like you’re hanging-out with your neighbors. ✨
The mezzanine level comes furnished with comfortable chairs for reading, as well as tables for meetings with friends and colleagues.
There is (purposefully) no Wi-Fi, as the staff hopes that people will take advantage the calming nature of the space, and have the opportunity to un-plug for a bit.
Co-founder Joey Honesko expressed that the people of downtown McKinney have “felt the absence” of a local bookstore.
“Books are way to step into another person’s perspective. It’s a way to expand your imagination. It’s a way to glean from someone, or be challenged by someone.”
His desire to create an environment where people feel welcomed, refreshed, and engaged with the local community, as well as the literature and additional items on-display.
Neighbor Books also plans to host local events, book signings, game nights, and more!
Neighbor Books is located at 208 E. Louisiana Street, McKinney, TX, 75069.
Consider stopping-by, soon! 📚✨
