Our story
A bookshop with no fixed address
The Story Casita is a traveling bookshop based in Bloomfield, CT — hand-picked books, brought right to your corner of the world.
How the casita started
It started with a simple belief: a good book should be easy to stumble upon. So we packed our shelves into a casita on wheels and hit the road, popping up where people already gather.
Every title is hand-selected with care — the kind of collection you would find in a beloved neighborhood shop, only it rolls right up to your favorite market, festival, or street corner.
What we stand for
We champion indie, BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ+ authors — and we believe books should be easy to reach for every kind of reader.
Hand-picked
A tight, thoughtful selection — never overwhelming.
Comes to you
We set up where your community already is.
The readers behind the casita
A husband-and-wife team — proudly Black and Puerto Rican-founded — sharing the stories we love, one stop at a time.

The one who reads the back cover first and still gets surprised by the ending. Monique curates every shelf with the conviction that the right book finds you.
Kevin
Co-founder · Resident lore-keeper
The one who turns every book into a conversation. Kevin keeps the lore — the backstories and author rabbit holes.
