The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. We had a very long conversation and learned a lot about their history, celebrity interactions, and received good reading recommendations.

When I came in one of their local book clubs was running - it was so fun to listen in on the conversations and community.

I was delighted I ended up spending more time in the store than I planned to. This is a great spot if you're looking for a book, a gift for a book lover or want to get involved in your community!
