Hello! Thank you for signing up for updates.
I'm Donna Miele, the owner of The Sparkle Bookstore. As you probably know, we are planning to open soon in the lovely hamlet of Sparkill, New York. What you want to know is — When?
I’ve struggled a while with worrying that I might jinx us by telling. But then it occurred to me that you will be able to help us MANIFEST. So, here’s our tentative opening date . . .
Thursday, July 10, 2025
There are a few administrative hoops to jump through before I can really promise . . . But please join us in looking eagerly forward to opening in the midst of a beautiful Sparkill summer!
In case you are not on Instagram, here are some pics we’ve taken of our progress. Book carts, pictured in the store, were provided by the wonderful West Nyack Library. We received other beautiful wooden tables and fixtures from Shakespeare & Co. as they prepared to close their stores on Lexington Avenue and at Broadway/105th St. in Manhattan. (Don’t worry, their Lincoln Center location is still open!) Storage space for the latter courtesy of Armand Miele-Herndon, who also appears in the video below.
