Bro my gramma and I go there all the time the lady is so niceee !!! One time she had baby chicks- but anyways, I recommend going here!! There’s so much variety and the books are always in great condition:)))
The owner was very knowledgeable about her inventory. I was overwhelmed at first, especially since I'm generally a new reader. I told the owner what I liked, she told me the genre & even recommended a few authors for me. Support local business!
We absolutely love this store. If you cant find the book you're looking for, it's okay, you'll have an arm load to help pass the time until someone trades it in at the Bookshelf. Please ask her about how her credit account works, and if you're a vet, how that relates. Oh, if you are in an organization that requires service hours, just ask her how you can help.
So ohmygoodness. My boyfriend took me out here as a surprise, since he knows I love books and especially used bookstores. I had no idea what was in store for me, I could spend literal hours going through all of the books here! The small, homey vibe makes browsing super comfortable, and Cindy was extremely friendly and let me have fun and take my time sitting on the floors going through stacks of books. I walked out with much more than I expected, and most definitely recommend and I will absolutely be back!
This is a gem of a used bookshop in Eagle River. They have literally every topic covered. The owner is as friendly as she is knowledgeable. She once told me they have over 50,000 books in the small store and I don’t doubt her. She has no problem with folks planting themselves on the floor and reading...in fact she seems to encourage it. Leave yourself lots of time to browse. Such a fun place to spend time.
