Why Should You Shop Here?
Our store is staffed by readers and booklovers. We're knowledgable, personable, and 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 individual market, with your tastes and interests 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 shopping with us keeps dollars in your community to go towards things like schools and libraries!

We are so grateful for the hard work that you do. Tell us what we can do to make it easier!
