Our story
Books, Community, and Ohio's Rich History
How it started
From Reader to Author to Bookseller
The Ohio Reader is the brain child of Northeast Ohio author, Sandy Pavick. We launched in July, 2026 and specialize in Ohio history books, Ohio children's books, Ohio sports books...and all things Ohio books.
Find us all over Lake, Ashtabula and Geauga Counties, at farmers' markets, wineries, community events, church sales, and more.
Can't wait for our next event, you can order your book by messaging us or by visiting bookshop.org and selecting The Ohio Reader as your bookstore. We appreciate you supporting our bookstore venture!
What we believe
History belongs in the community
The best place for a book about Ohio isn't a warehouse — it's in the hands of someone who lives here, works here, and cares about this place.
Curation is a form of care
We read everything we carry. Every title on our table was chosen because we believe it's worth your time — not because it's popular or easy to source.
The conversation is the point
We're not just selling books. We're starting conversations about Ohio's past, its people, and what it means to call this state home.
Come find us
We are set up somewhere in Northeast Ohio most weekends and many weekdays. Check our events page to see where we'll be next — and come say hello.
