It has a lovely porch for reading outside in warmer weather, as well as some cozy seating inside. And the selection is excellent. They take care to stock books across a wide range of genres for all types of readers and interests. The store promotes a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone, and the employees are always friendly and helpful. On my most recent visit I scored a bargain from the sale cart and got a hardcover on my TBR list for 20% off. They also have a nice selection of gift items and stationary. A great place to spend an afternoon browsing through all the rooms.

This was a fabulous find on my latest trip to Lancaster. It's located inside the Lancaster City…read morePublic Library. Look left when you enter and you'll see the room labeled "Bookstore." It has limited hours, because it's run entirely by friendly volunteers, but it's worth arranging a visit. It has a great selection of used books in excellent condition for very reasonable prices, including a lot of recent popular books. I picked up a recent paperback bestseller for $3 and a hardcover for $7, and my best score was a signed paperback copy of Sarah McBride's memoir for only $4. If you love shopping for used books like I do, this is a must visit.

When I asked, the lady running the station told me that all the items for sale were previously in circulation or held by the library in some capacity. I purchased a few DVDs and a first edition book that were very fairly priced, and looked to be brand new. There were no markings on either to indicate they were ever circulated, so I'm wondering if some items in the shop were also donated at one point or another. While I imagine the collection doesn't change over too often, I'll try and re-visit every month or so to see what else they've added. It's worth stopping in while you're visiting the library!

This store is a bit larger than the aforementioned one - this building stands alone on the eastern part of the city and has a bigger selection to choose from. The staff is very friendly and told me that there are more books in the back that are opened to the public a few times a year when the library runs one of their big book sales. Still, even without the additional books from the back, you're bound to find something up front that you'll enjoy.

Ansley's talk about the book nerd tchotchkes - unmatched. Dangerous. A true test of self-control. If you've ever wanted socks, mugs, pens, puzzles, stickers, or stuffies that loudly announce I READ, this is your spot. They do tend to run pricey, but I think that's typical of all mall stores, and I'd rather buy from a local shop than Amazon if I can help it. Theres a BAM membership you can sign up for that helps, and they do occasionally have nice sales, so just be on the look out for those if you're looking to save a few bucks.

While there's a wide selection of items, doing your homework you'll find that majority of the items…read moreare overpriced in comparison to other local merchants by a few dollars or more. Still I entertained the notion of supporting the local merchants in a brick and mortar store. I approached the checkout counter with over $70 in merchandise and was rung up. The sales associate then asked if I wanted a bag. Of course I wasn't going to juggle all the merchandise throughout the rest of the mall without a bag so I said, "Yes, please." She then told me that would be $1.99. I was absolutely dumbfounded and taken aback, half tempted to just walk out and not purchase anything, but remembered they were for gifts and I didn't have time to ship them. Next time I will certainly preplan and avoid this store. I'd rather purchase and pay for shipping than for the gas to travel here, the inconvenience of standing in line, having to lug purchases throughout the mall and back home... and be charged $2 for a bag to carry my purchases. This is just in poor form to scam customers into purchasing a bag after you ring up a large order! It's just not worth the hassle. I asked for a free plastic bag and was informed they will no longer provide them. The store is well stocked and organized, but all the items can be obtained elsewhere for less of a cost and more convenience to ship to your front door or remember to take your own bag if you plan on shopping here. Highly disappointing and I'll no longer be shopping or supporting this store.
