Turning the page for Hutto
Opening Nov. 1 at 202 U.S. 79, Hutto, The Story Book Emporium & Book Shop is bringing the city its very own indie bookstore. Owner Ash O’Rourke has filled the shelves with everything from new releases to beloved classics, creating a space that feels welcoming for casual readers and lifelong bibliophiles alike. Families can look forward to story times, author signings, and special events that make the shop a natural gathering spot.
More than just books
Visitors can sip coffee, enjoy a glass of wine, or even grab a cold beer while browsing. Writers have a home here too, thanks to workshops and retreats offered through the shop’s creative partner, Story Sirens Studio. It is the kind of place where you can linger, swap recommendations with a neighbor, or get inspired to start a project of your own.
The experience
From the cozy café corner to the shelves curated with care, the shop feels like both a refuge and a spark. Locals are already buzzing after seeing their team at Olde Tyme Days, and with its mix of books, events, and hospitality, it is poised to become a favorite stop in Hutto’s growing downtown.
