I love this store! It's fun to browse the books, and there are CATS you can pet. The people who work here are really nice. Fun kid/parent date to go pick out books together.

Really cute spot. Has a few adorable cats (beware, all ye allergicks), but they leave you alone unless you want them, I found. Off assortment of genres, and not everything is very rigidly sorted, but it's well maintained, if a bit dusty. Importantly, 20% OFF IF YOU DONATE, even just one book! Good selection, just not necessarily of specific titles (it is all used/donated), but there's plenty for anyone. Sections by memory: Classics, plays/drama (small), fiction (very large), science (disparate, disorganized, and all smooshed together), mystery (lots), thrillers, horror (separate from thriller, gratuitous), christian (quite large), sci-fi/fantasy (all together, fairly small, though fiction had many stragglers), YA (decent back corner), various nonfictions (self help, cooking, psych, autobio) They have cute displays, specials, and local authors as well. For a similar vibe but like 5% the size, go check out Lit Brews as well

Absolutely perfect! They have everything sorted wonderfully and not to mention the kitties! They are super friendly and helpful in there and the atmosphere is soooo warming and welcoming. They have an area for kids and a nice area to sit down and read. You have to go visit this place and adopts a few books!

True to the used bookstore archetype of the thrill of the hunt! They have so many books! That staff are helpful. I like the liturgical texts and prayer books. They have a good comic section. My teacher sister-in-law loves the children’s section. Good prices.

the managers charlotte and wilbur were very nice and helpful when shopping for books. a little unprofessional that one of them sat on my boyfriend's lap but overall a good experience! (all jokes love y'all's store!)
