Our standard discount for school and library purchases is 20%. Why should you shop here? Our store is staffed by readers and booklovers. We're knowledgeable, personable & passionate about what we do. As a locally-owned business, we're able to carry a wider and more unique selection than chain stores because we're buying for one specific market, with the tastes and interests of our customers in mind. When you spend money in our store, your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong -- right here. Locally-owned businesses like ours keep your dollars circulating here up to 5 times longer than chain stores headquartered elsewhere, so shoppoing with us keeps dollars in your community, to go towards things like schools and libraries!
