Olive Tree Books-n-Voices is located at 97 Hancock Street in Springfield, Massachusetts.  The building that houses the bookstore is as significant in the message that it conveys.  The owner, Zee Johnson and staff are committed to their love of books.

Although you would never know it now, the bookstore is located on the first floor of a building that used to be a crack house.  With the hard work of many people who wanted Ms. Zee and her daughter, Olivia, to succeed, the former crack house transformed into an inviting homey place in 2004.  It is now a comfortable place where you can come in and browse through the more than 500 titles. You can make a selection from the Inspirational & Religious room, browse in the historical section, have a cup of coffee or tea while using WI FI , curl up on the sofa with a best seller,  read to your unborn child in our Mother’s rocking chair, or have your children read stories in the Young Readers room. In addition, there are also cards, Bibles, journals, magnets, handbags, one of a kind floral arrangements, gift baskets, and specialty/unique items to select from.  

Many have asked about the name, Olive Tree Books-n-Voices. Besides books, the bookstore wanted to emphasize the connection to other forms of expression:  art,  music, etc.; hence, Olive Tree Books-n-Voices.  
 
It is obvious that when people come in, there is a special interest in customers, calling them by name and chatting with them about their special literary interests. There is something to be said about “someone knowing you and your name”.
