Calm and friendly vibe. They have notebooks and tons of book-related accessories too. I even found a wax seal and the wax to go with it, for fancy letter-writing. Signs indicate that several book clubs meet here so if you're looking for one, this might be a great place to start your search. Parking is available on the street - and there are other great businesses within close walking distance too, a coffee shop, plant store, brewery, and more. It's also right along the bike path for an easy break during a ride.

First - the heavy scent of incense here meant that I could not stay very long. If you have…read moreallergies to that sort of thing, heads up. However, I might try a future visit with a good mask to see if that lets me stay longer, because it looks like a really great and eclectic book selection. I saw several older ones that are hard to find. The store has lots of tiny nooks and crannies full of books that feels like a mini-adventure. This is definitely a "come get lost in a bookstore for a while" sort of place. I didn't see much signage and the one book I picked up did not have clear pricing on it so I'm not sure where they rank for that.

They also have a nice selection of stickers and some other fun book-themed goods (mugs, candles, etc) so it's a nice place to find gifts for a book lover. This isn't a place to spend hours in but well worth a stop (especially if you are also checking out Rust Belt across the street). Pricing is decent and staff is friendly.

(Also not at all a reflection of the staff who were friendly and awesome). If you are looking for anything social justice related though you can definitely find it here. If you are wanting to get involved in activism, protests, or progressive issues, and are very left-leaning, this is probably the right place for that. They also have pins, stickers, and a large calendar on the wall showing upcoming events. There is a small section in the front with books about local plants, mushrooms, and hiking.

The shop itself is very small but they fit a truly excellent collection in the space, focused on books by and about Black people. There is a section in the back with kids' books. In addition to books, they have a large selection of greeting cards and a small shelf with puzzles and games. Look inside the front cover of each book for pricing. Friendly staff, easy street parking, great vibe. The shop is inside this residential-looking house - you'll see signage as soon as you walk in directing you which door to use (it is on the same floor as the main front door).

They are across the street from the Lockport Winter market (harrison building) so after you pick up your groceries, it's easy to stroll across the street to browse some books. Busy Bee's sells low-cost (mostly children's) books and they have a huge variety to choose from. There are so many titles, authors, and types of books for infants through teenagers. They've also expanded and have great options for adults as well. It's really hard to browse their store for presents for my kid and other family friends without picking up something for myself. Woops! During the COVID-19 crisis, they have also expanded their retail store online and provide free delivery in Lockport and flat rate shipping outside of LP. They also just started offering audio books as well so make sure to shop small and support your local bookstore! We need to keep these neighborhood gems alive!
