Love this local independent bookshop. They're knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! They support local authors too. 5 stars!

I try to buy books locally whenever possible. In searching for a particular book I have visited many used book stores over the past month and at each store when they check and don't have the book I want, they refer me to several other local book stores. Singing Squirrel is no exception! All the stores have been pleasant. Truly a book buyer's Nirvana!

Just had a very beautiful experience at Singing Pebble and with the owner, Mika. In purchasing a gift for my daughter's birthday, Mika went over and above to provide amazing, personalized service that affirmed why I've been gravitating away from Indigo and choosing to spend my time and money at Singing Pebble. On top of that, this amazing customer service came after I overheard Mika providing a compassionate listening ear to a community member that really needed to just talk. A beautiful community moment of compassion all round.

Come for the books; stay for the greeting cards, new-age accoutrements, attached coffee shop, free street parking on a good day, cheap next-door parking on a bad one, and the camera-shy house cat. I've successfully ordered books ranging from political commentary to science fiction. The staff are unfailingly pleasant and knowledgeable.
