Tucked into the heart of Summit, Buzy Beez Bookstore is one of those places that quietly reminds you why independent bookstores matter so much.

I’m an avid reader and have always loved wandering bookstores. The big chains are great—they’re familiar, reliable, and full of options—but stepping into a family-owned bookstore feels different. It’s more personal. More intentional. You feel like you’re being welcomed into something that was built with care, not just stocked with inventory.

Buzy Beez Bookstore offers a thoughtfully curated selection of books and gifts, the kind that invites you to slow down and browse instead of rushing in and out. It’s the type of place where you can imagine conversations happening between the shelves, recommendations being shared, and kids discovering books that might shape who they become.

In a small town like Summit, businesses like this carry extra weight. They’re not just retail spaces—they’re part of the town’s rhythm and character. Choosing to step into Buzy Beez instead of clicking “add to cart” somewhere else feels meaningful, a small but intentional way to support something local, rooted, and human.
Buzy Beez Bookstore is a reminder that while books can be bought anywhere, the experience of buying them—the space, the atmosphere, the people behind it—still matters. And in Summit, this little bookstore is quietly doing that beautifully.
