History
Downtown Books opened in March 2012, taking over the space that had housed Manteo Booksellers for a quarter of a century. We pride ourselves on providing locals and visitors to downtown Manteo, Roanoke Island and the entire Outer Banks with a well curated selection of books, a heavy calendar of author signings and other interesting events.
Specialties
Downtown Books is the independent bookstore on Roanoke Island where our goal is to put the right book in the right hands at the right time! We carry a wide selection of new books- best-sellers, Outer Banks titles, children's, non-fiction and more. Greeting cards, unique gifts, a small used selection and a visit with our bookstore dog, Piper, will round out your shopping experience in downtown Manteo!
