This is a fairly quiet bookstore that takes in used books and offers credit or cash. I love that you can always find a book and a nook to curl up and read. No cafe but there are places nearby. Children’s book area is also quite big and has help if you need it.

I love this store, but they desperately need a station where a customer can look up titles on the computer. Currently, you have to ask staff to look up every title. The staff are often busy, and it can be challenging to find things, especially if you have a longer list. I’d probably buy more if I was able to find more.

Such a great used book store, lots of used and new books, greeting cards and so much more. So many great finds, stuff was helpful when needed. I’ll be back!

Great selection of new and used books, as well as magazines, games, and the like. Upon arriving, I proceeded to the first information desk past the front door, which was unattended - despite 3 people manning the used books purchasing counter (two in conversation with one another) it took about 20 seconds to be greeted despite all three workers recognizing that I was standing there. I was directed to another information desk further into the store - upon approaching, the clerk, without offering a greeting, asked, "You have a question?" Was underwhelmed by the experience, to the point that had they had the book that I was searching for in-stock, I wouldn't have bought it here. To keep this independent bookstore thriving, friendlier staff members would go a long way to that end.

Really amazing book store that has a lot of variety! Most of the staff is nice, but we had an issue with one of the staff members who mans the book-drop off center (long black hair and facial hair). My friend and I brought two boxes of books (we have separate accounts), and after he was done processing our information, he told us, "I actually saw you guys walk in together, and I'll accept your books this time, but next time, we won't accept your books. This is exactly why we're closing down our store to process all of these books because people keep doing this". He came off really unkind and almost hostile.
