If you do stop by the store, you can purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy in front of their fireplace or with friends on their patio. While they carry thousands of books on site, they also have an extensive online shop from which to order and have delivered to your home. The Next Chapter opened in 2019 with a mission to stay a ‘small, independent bookshop’ and be a reprieve from the big-box bookstores, especially those online. When Prairie Books and Gifts closed in Hastings, NE, Michelle Muton (the daughter of Prairie Book’s owners) opened The Next Chapter in Omaha, NE to carry on the legacy. They’re even pet-friendly so you don’t have to leave your four-legged loved ones at home! Contact them for more information on upcoming events and new releases.
