Today marks Hartfield Book Co. 's final Indie Bookstore Day 📚✨
A day to celebrate the love of books, the joy of discovering something unexpected on the shelf, and the community that independent bookstores help create.
Hartfield Book Co. has been one of those special places—welcoming, thoughtful, and rooted in a shared appreciation for stories. Shops like this leave a lasting mark, and they will be truly missed.
Stop in from 10–3 to browse, say hello, and be part of one last Indie Bookstore Day with them. Any show them a little extra love through their final day on May 23rd! 🥰
Have you checked out The Green Door yet?? NO??? All the more reason to get your tickets to Whites of Spring 2026... #justsaying
For 90 years, Viobin Products has been a cornerstone (literally...) of downtown Monticello—showing what true commitment to community looks like. Their investment, longevity, and local pride continue to help shape a stronger, more vibrant downtown.
From ballet bar to storefront, Tobey Martinez has gracefully made the leap from dance to ballet retail with En Pointe Monticello. Celebrating three years downtown, she continues to bring passion, creativity, and flair to our community by volunteering with Monticello Main Street to insure the businesses are supported.
