Great experience here and we will be back! So clean, the set ups are so cute, and some new items too like children’s books and mixing bowls. We grabbed some books, a belt, some CDs for our played, and a leather belt from Italy!
The staff was rude, their was no place to sit, no bathrooms and only when asked twice did the give us directions to a bathroom that was 4 blocks away inside a fancy restaurant. My family has taken the bus to the area with the bookstore as one of the goals to visit and we won't be going back. I loved the goals of the store, but that's not enough for me.
This place is so much more than a bookstore! The work, support and collaboration they provide to our youth is literally "more than words" can explain....to say they go above & beyond is an understatement. I'm so grateful for their presence in my son's life!
Very nice place! Extremely friendly 💕 My daughter found a lot of cute stuff there! They sell some used books and clothes as well, everything very clean and well organised! Enjoy!
A phenomenal used bookstore with lovely staff. This is a very large yet spacious and brilliantly organised used book store. The organisation supports people getting into work and takes book donations. The shop is large but impressive in its presentation and it’s carefully and thoughtfully laid out and set up. Drapes create a warmth while wood and antique fittings complement the very suitable modern shelving. Well worth a visit. For comic fans - a decent selection of Graphic Novels about 10 foot in total.

Where stories inspire change and community thrives.
