I went there for the first time with my 8 year old granddaughter and she was so excited to walk out with a whole bag full of books. It's exactly the kind of local business people should support.

I love BookHounds and am so grateful we have a place like this in town. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. My son lives on the coast and likes to go to BookHounds when he visits. He said they do not have anything like it where he lives and he enjoys the wide selection of books they carry. Thank you for having this business for the community to enjoy and please never close down!
