Canio's Books

A Literary Harbor for the Arts, since founded in 1980 by Canio Pavone. The bookshop features new, used and collectible books and is well known as a literary gathering place. An entire wall devoted to poetry comprises one of the largest collections on Long Island. Specialties include literary fiction and non-fiction, art, and photography. Shelves are bursting with a fine selection of children“s books, nature titles, food books, spirituality, literary biography and memoir, and environmental interest. Since October 1999, Maryann Calendrille and Kathryn Szoka have continued Canio“s tradition of hosting a wide range of authors, and featuring exceptional local artwork.
