There is a small corner of children's books, puzzles, notecards, stickers and more. While it is a small space they stock single copies so there is so much in their small space. They can also order books you are looking for. Loved finding a special signed copy of a book sold only in indie stores! The employee was helpful and conversational while we checked out. Also, who doesn't love a free bookmark with purchase!?

Somewhere I can come to find something obscure, or some of my favorite foreign authors translated into English. Small eclectic selection of books that are priced in a way to encourage the growth of your personal library. Maybe the staff just aren't morning people?

Loved exploring this little bookstore!…read more It has many different categories of books to browse through, but it is not a traditional bookstore where you come in looking for one exact title or a full series. It feels more like a curated collection of whatever treasures they have at the moment, which makes it really fun to explore. I ended up finding things I never would have searched for, which is honestly my favorite kind of bookstore experience, kind of like thrifting but with books. There is some small seating, more decorative than group seating, so it is not really a place for big study sessions, but it is definitely an aesthetic spot to wander through. They also carry a lot of other cute items like art from local artists, vintage goods, and little gifts, which makes it feel extra special and community focused. Overall, such a charming shop to browse. I will definitely be back again!
