Located in front of Awaken Coffee in St. Marys, Ga., Leaf & Ledger is a one-of-a king book and giftshop for fans of print books and fine paper gifts. This woman-owned small business was created out of a deep love for books, quiet moments, and the kind of places that feel like a pause button on the world. What started as a personal escape into reading slowly turned into a dream of creating a space where others could find that same comfort, whether it’s through a new story, a familiar favorite, or a moment to slow down.

Leaf & Ledger is more than a bookstore, it’s a shared space for readers. From pop-ups and local partnerships to quiet moments spent browsing, this business is rooted in connection, creativity, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.
