For many, many years, the village of Clifton Springs, New York, has had a bookstore at 18 East Main Street. It has changed hands from time to time and has certainly changed character. In recent years, Sulfur Books has been your basic independent bookstore, rather than one selling candy and gifts as well. When another storefront on Main Street became available, however, the bookstore took the opportunity to move to new quarters at 2 West Main Street.

The move took longer than expected, as these things often do, but it was worth the wait. (See the photo above.) The new digs are more spacious, and a limited supply of other merchandise can now be made available. Most striking are the black bookshelves that replace the old white ones that went down to the floor.

Sulfur Books reopened only yesterday. Tomorrow, it hosts the monthly Open Mic Night, which was skipped last month because of the move. The book club at Sulfur Books meets March 27.

The photo below shows the door of the former bookstore location. Notice the tile at the entrance. A photo of the tile work can be see hanging on the yellow wall in the picture above.
