Who we are

At The Dog-Eared Page, books are just the beginning. We’re a family-owned, independent bookstore built on the belief that stories have the power to bring people together, whether it’s over a shared love of a favorite author or a really good conversation by the shelves.

When our family took the helm, our goal was simple: to keep the heartbeat of this beloved local shop alive while continuing to grow its roots deeper into the Danville community. Every day, we’re reminded that a bookstore isn’t just a place to buy books: it’s a gathering space for neighbors, friends, and curious minds of all ages.

We take pride in knowing our customers by name, remembering what they like to read, and making every visit feel a little like coming home. From local author events to storytimes to seasonal celebrations, we love creating moments that remind us why small-town bookstores matter.

So whether you’re here for your next great read, to chat about books, or just to pause for a moment in good company — welcome. You’re part of our story now.
