Oblong Books and Music in New York boasts two locations and is family owned and operated. The first store opened its doors in Millerton, NY in 1975 and they've been serving their community ever since!
In 2001 Oblong opened a second store, this one located in Rhinebeck, NY. The stores are owned by an amazing father-daughter team and provide a friendly atmosphere and host several events each year.
Oblong Books graciously agreed to be my first ever Independent Bookstore Spotlight and Suzanna, an Oblong employee, offered me the following information:
Founded in 1975 in Millerton, NY, Oblong Books & Music has become the anchor of independent bookselling in New York's Hudson Valley. With a second store opening in 2001 in Rhinebeck, Oblong has grown to serve a larger community of readers. The stores are owned by Dick Hermans and his daughter, Suzanna, both of whom have leadership roles in the New England Independent Bookseller's Association. In 2011 they plan to expand their Rhinebeck store to increase the visibility of children's books and increase available seating at author events.
