I think the stairwell area or maybe it was near the door that had just a cloth over it in the room to the right I think it was just really cool to find some Egyptian books and geological section was just pretty big and when it's overfilled, it just has piles on the floor and it's its own thing which is just really cool I brought my friend with me and she felt like weird vibes from whoever was at the front desk, but I wasn't upfront there too long so I didn't feel or see that Some of the space gave like Fnaf feeling like the children's section with the LED light that's kind of faded. I think in like the slanted roof and just like the doorway with only a cloth over it and kind of a dark corner. Nothing really against that. Just kind of a creepy silly feeling. It definitely had like all of the young adult and just teen books that anyone could want I think it's a really great place

I don't really go to these franchise stores that often. Also, their bathroom is on the second floor. They took me later. Only two stalls were in the women's, so hopefully it never gets busy. It's nicely air condition. There's also like two benches right outside the front door. Some nice knickknacks café and a nice little children's section Definitely a wide variety of selection and a nice little clearance area

There is a great variety in prices, so if you are looking for a gift or something for a set price, this is an easy source to utilize. The only downside is the customer service at Barnes and Noble. It may be that I always visit when they are busy, but the staff never go out of their way to help, don't seek to care if you find what you are looking for, I have stood at the "customer service" desk several times and had the person at the desk completely ignore me. They didn't even offer an, "I'll be right with you." One even walked away to do something while I was standing there. Wow. All in all, I will still visit for my book needs, but I never expect good servic

Snoozed on writing this review, but that didn't diminish the quality of the experience. Satellite…read moreis a great (almost) hidden gem in SLO. We'd passed it a few times and kept making a mental note to stop by and check it out. On one of our last days in town, we finally visited and spent about 30 minute perusing the awesome selection of goods that the very cool and very approachable owner, Malik, has curated. There's a nice selection of vintage and new items, from books and records to clothing and decor. Prices are reasonable and with the jazz playing in the background, Satellite gives off a soothing, relaxing vibe. We grabbed a bag of locally roasted coffee beans and a card for a friend. We're trying not to add too much to our place, otherwise we would have loaded up on more goodies, as Satellite's style is right up our alley. (Wish I'd been smart enough to take pictures.) Pro tip: Satellite is really close to Bread Bike, Nautical Bean and High Street Deli. Load up on your way to/from Satellite. You'll be so proud of yourself.

Your board game selection, TTRPG's, and miniatures are always good and I enjoying growing these sections for something new. I have also in the past gone for movies and I picked up a few I have wanted to watch for years and it felt better than going through Amazon for it.
