Discover Sunshine Book Nook

Hi! We’re Don and Chris Flowers, the husband-and-wife team behind Sunshine Book Nook in Urbana, Ohio.

After a 30-year career in IT and cybersecurity, Don retired to turn a lifelong love of reading into an independent bookstore. Chris, a former teacher, brings her passion for education and community engagement to everything we do.

We’re proud to be open at 111 N. Main St. in Urbana, offering a cozy place for good people to find good books. We provide a hand-picked selection of new and gently used books—plus fun bookish gifts and extras. We’re also building a variety of events, including local author visits and book clubs, to help bring readers together.

We can’t wait to welcome you in!
