 Learned Owl Is More Than a
Shop Around The Corner

Step into The Learned Owl Book Shop and you will find more than just a little shop around the corner.   At first glance you are drawn to this quaint book store with a small-town charm, but once inside,  you will realize that it is much more than that.  The Learned Owl Book Shop, established in 1968 originally occupied a small 300 square foot - one floor section of this 1867 building that sits on Main Street in downtown Hudson.  Today it has  grown to a  three-floor book shop that uses every nook and cranny of the  2300 square-foot historic building to hold books, greeting cards, stationery and of course Ruby, the  year old Golden Retriever and Bookshop Dog who regularly greets customers.

Once one of thirty-five independent bookstores in northeast Ohio. The Learned Owl is now one of only five that still remain.  Current owner Liz Murphy has owned the store for 21 years and offers books on all subjects for all ages.  Books not found on the shelves can usually be ordered and received within a few days. The book-smart staff  who  are ready, willing and able to help you find exactly what you are looking for, can also special order any book, in or out of print... The shop also  carries a wide variety of greeting cards for all occasions and boxed stationery including Crane's.  You can find information about upcoming events on their website at www.learnedowl.com. Don't forget to sign up to received monthly newsletters via email so you won't miss a thing!  Be sure to mark your calendars for these special upcoming events!!
