Paperbark Merchants is a quaint bookstore on the main strip of Albany. It’s logo encompasses the dog aspect of the ‘bark’ in the name, yet their window display shows books amongst trees showing the quirky play on words. It is everything a small town bookstore should be, it stocks all the popular books you’d be looking for, as well as a large section for gifts. The staff are amazingly friendly and more than happy to help you look for what you are after. It is open fairly late also so if you are having a pre dinner stroll around the town enjoying the early evening atmosphere of the town you can drop in and have a browse through the titles.
