White Pine Books is celebrating 30 years on Arnprior's main street this month, a feat that second-generation owner Jen Rusheleau is proud of.

"When my mom opened the bookstore in 1993, there was a gap for this industry in Arnprior," she tells CTV News.

The bookstore also hosts author signings, book clubs, and writers' rooms. Rusheleau is hoping to continue evolving her family's store into a community hub. "Things like holding a book in your hand while you're reading it or giving a gift of a book to somebody else. It's still there, people still want it," Rusheleau said.

The store offers books from all genres; from fiction and non-fiction, to autobiographies, travel, how-to, sports, and children's books.
