I really loved this bookstore. It has so many amazing book related items. The book selection is not big like a major retailer but it's got a great selection. There is a 8 car parking lot right next door to the library as well as street parking. They had so many book items mixed in between books that it made it really fun to browse. For example journaling items, postcards, greeting cards, stickers, keychains, bookmarks and many more things. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Definitely recommend as a must visit for any book lover.

The shell of the old public library branch is reborn as a very fun book and gift shop benefiting the public library. If you've been to the gift shop (not the used book sale) at the downtown library, this is that times ten. Great gifts for book lovers of all ages, as well as a nice selection of current books for adults and kids. There's also an event space. If I had one suggestion, it might be to actually have one bookcase of cheap used books that they bring up from downtown.

Lovely shop with unique and beautiful books (and more) and friendly and helpful staff! Competitive prices, too! My 1 1/2 year old and I went in today (very kid-friendly 🙏) and really enjoyed the lovely selection and actually getting to choose books from a physical store instead of buying online! There were so many charming children’s books (I was also excited to find a great selection of books for various holidays, as we were shopping for both Christmas and Hanukkah), and both those and the books for adults that I was able to check out (a bit hard with a toddler) seemed selectively curated for story quality and beauty of editions. I wanted to take home everything 🤣 Sarah was also very helpful with recommendations for a gift I was purchasing and very patient with us in general. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back! So happy to have you in the neighborhood!

What a fresh, delightful, welcoming bookshop with book-related gift items like socks, candles, wallets, jewelry, stickers, stationery and more! The old library building is reinvigorated/ reimagjned as a celebration of libraries / booklovers/ booknerds and sales support our local SD libraries. A beautiful spacious sanctuary that will make you happy and do your heart good! What else to say?... Kids are gonna love it!
