The village of Hobart , New York , is home to around 400 residents.

Within one block of Main Street , there are seven different bookstores.

The village was inspired by Hay-on-Wye, a thriving Welsh book town.

Writers and readers now make pilgrimages to Hobart in part for what the town represents.
