The Beech Tree was chosen as our name to honor the beauty and history of the Beech tree. This tree is a symbol of the written word and the ancient wisdom that knowledge brings. Our target audience are readers, educators, students, business owners, community managers, parents, guardians, grandparents, childcare providers, poets, and anyone who loves to read or be read to! As an independent bookstore, shopping locally keeps our community thriving. We support literacy programs for adults and adolescents. Co-owner lives and learns with a learning disability and is a strong self-advocate.
