Welcome to The Reading Corner

About Us

Founded in January 2026, our bookstore is a woman- and veteran-owned small business proudly rooted in the Alexandria community. Owned and operated by Alexandria local Stephanie Wagner, we are a new and used bookstore built on a love of stories, learning, and connection.

We offer a thoughtfully curated mix of new and pre-loved books and happily accept book donations to help keep great reads circulating. Most importantly, we’re excited to give back and support the Alexandria community that has supported us—from fellow book lovers to local neighbors and organizations.

Whether you’re searching for your next favorite book or looking to pass along stories you’ve already loved, we’re grateful to be part of your journey.

Such a cute bookstore with friendly staff!
