The Brady Readery—a veteran and woman owned small business—will be a fully accessible local bookstore and community space in Laytonsville, MD.
Our mission is to provide a quality selection of new and affordable used books; personalized recommendations; consistent community interaction; and space to foster a love of reading in people of all ages.
Our initial goal is to start our children’s initiatives. This program includes two Story and Craft Hours weekly; field trips from the elementary schools nearby for curated Story and Craft Hours that cater to lesson plans that teachers request (for instance, Greek myths, American Civil Rights, sustainability, marine biology, etc); and a small children’s lending library which will provide up to two books per child for two weeks. This is important because there is no library in our city, and we want to provide something to read at every price point—including free.
We believe that reading cultivates empathy and encourages curiosity. We are committed to sharing these values with our neighbors.

Together, we hope to make The Brady Readery more than a bookstore. We want to make it a local hub for community involvement and enrichment.
