When your former employee comes home for a visit a When your former employee comes home for a visit and helps close up the shop you take a video. Oh, yeah, he is also my oldest son. I miss having him in my shop but am thrilled he is doing well in his life in the big city. #bookstobered #closingshop #ocracoke #myboy

This is what I like most about my job. Meeting peo This is what I like most about my job. Meeting people and especially if those fine folks have Ocracoke stories to tell. This is Martina and Fletcher Taylor. Ms. Taylor has been coming to Ocracoke- since the 40's when she would ride the mailboat Aleta over to the island. She would stay with Miss Betty (Midgett) while visiting the island. The Taylors have been married for about 64 years and are in their mid nineties. (Don't tell them I told their age.) They bought lots of Ocracoke history books and it dawned on me that that is absolutely the way Ms. Taylor remembers Ocracoke. #bookstobered #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #mailboatAleta #indiebookstore #independentbookstore #ocracokeisland
Stop in and try a fun new way to have a cocktail. Stop in and try a fun new way to have a cocktail. All you need is the alcohol, a jar, and one of these tasty kits from InBooze. Add flavor by infusing your alcohol with these real dehydrated fruits, spices, and herbs. Each kit makes about 8-10 cocktails. We also have some Classic Margarita, Caribbean Rum Punch, and Moscow Mule. #bookstobered #ocracoke #afternooncocktail #driedfruit #beachafternnoon @inboozekits @flypaperproducts

The 79th anniversary of the sinking of H.M.T. Bedf The 79th anniversary of the sinking of H.M.T. Bedfordshire is this week. Four of the sailors killed in the attack are buried on Ocracoke When I was in school we learned World War II was "over there, over there" in Europe. Imagine my surprise when I moved to the coast of North Carolina and found out WW II took place right off the coast of Ocracoke and the entire east coast. In most years Ocracoke and Buxton have ceremonies to commemorate the sinking of the Bedfordshire by German submarine U-558. Due to Covid-19 these ceremonies have been canceled for this year. The ceremony is solemn And beautiful ceremony attended by British Navy and Royal Canadian officers. Stop by the British Cemetery while you are on Ocracoke this week and give those brave sailors a minute of your time. We have these books to give you lots more information. Stop in Books to be Red and take a look. #bookstobered #ocracoke #visitocracokenc #wwiihistory #hmtbedfordshire #uboats #buxton #BritishNavy #warzone #insomeforeignfield
