Barbara founded Riverstone Books in 2017 to fill the need for an independent bookstore in the North Hills which would help our neighbors find books that inspire, inform, delight, amuse, comfort and enlighten them. Previously she owned Undercover Books in St. Croix for 6 years. Prior to finding her true vocation as a bookseller, Barbara had a 30+ year career with Alcoa. Her goals for 2021 are to successfully serve book lovers in our new location In Squirrel Hill and and train our puppy so he can someday be a store dog.
