Hanover, PA – Downtown Hanover is celebrating the arrival of its newest indie bookstore, Seventh Shelf Romance Bookstore, located at 9 Carlisle Street. The shop officially opened its doors on Sunday, September 7, where excited readers formed a line wrapped around the square to welcome the beloved new addition to the community.
The store, owned by Tiffany Michael Hammer, is dedicated to romance novels of every sub-genre, providing readers with a thoughtfully curated selection and a cozy atmosphere to discover their next favorite read.
Seventh Shelf is already embracing the spirit of collaboration in Hanover. Tiffany has become fast friends with Kiki Page, co-owner of fellow downtown indie bookstore Little Fox Coffee & Books. Together, the two businesses are quickly creating a hub for book lovers with collaborative events and a supportive atmosphere.
“We love to see our downtown businesses not only thriving individually but also collaborating with each other,” said Moriah Tyler, Executive Director of Main Street Hanover. “Downtown isn’t about competition—it’s about realizing that variety makes us a destination. Two indie bookstores downtown doesn’t split the crowd; it brings more people in to explore, shop, and connect.”
For Tiffany, opening Seventh Shelf has been a personal dream realized.
“Owning a romance bookstore has always been a dream of mine, and to see it come to life here in Hanover is truly incredible,” said Tiffany Michael Hammer. “The community has been so warm and welcoming already, and I can’t wait to continue building a space where readers feel at home.”
The Seventh Shelf Romance Bookstore is located at 9 Carlisle St, Hanover, PA. Store hours are:
  • Monday: Closed
  • Tuesday – Saturday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
  • Sunday: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
