Staff Picks:
Small used book section, but majority of them are new
“We are a neighborhood bookstore where the staff knows the customers and the customers know us. This allows us to hand sell books to customers with care and specificity, whether in person or through our WORD To Your Mailbox subscription program. We don’t believe one book fits all readers! We love to support local authors, and, through our Open Mic nights, Saturday story time, and Letter Writing Club, we aim to be a place where members of our community can meet, exchange ideas, and feel welcome. We aim to give the customers what they want but we also want to give them what they didn't know they wanted.”
