This joint had a summer reading program where my daughter logged all of her hours of reading. Here…read moreat the end of the summer for each hour of reading you get a rally ticket and if they draw your number then you get a free prize. They drew her number! She won a family season pass to the Cincinnati nature center. This looks to be a pretty exciting adventure because they have a creek that runs through it and you can play in it

I absolutely love this place! I go to college almost an hour away so it's nice to have somewhere…read moreclose to home where I can study in a quiet space. The staff are amazing, kind and very helpful! And a lot of books to choose from ranging from all ages.

Oh the Village of Batavia. It is so frustrating because this COULD be an amazing area similar to…read morethat of Downtown old Milford or Loveland, but alas that is not the case. The streets are lined with trees, benches, sidewalks and nice lampposts. The village does decorate for each season. There are so many historic buildings and the option for nice storefronts. There are multiple small businesses but not much that would be a draw. Right now there is Bean and Brew (a coffee/beer/food with a patio joint), a pizza place, and UDF. There is also a florist. There is ample, free parking. There aren't many events (even before the pandemic) other than a bi-yearly community garage sale. There is also a library and several churches. From what I hear there are some board members or commissioners that are keeping change and improvements from coming in. Sadly, for now, unless you have to be here for something else, its not worth the trip.

I've had nothing but positive experiences at this location. It is easy to access, has plenty of…read moreparking, is clean, and is well lit. In the past I had voted early and in person. All the workers were friendly, helpful and prompt. Took 10mins tops! This year I chose to do absentee due to the 'rona. Early on they had absentee applications outside with a secure "monitored" drop box to place them in. Now this same box has turned into the ballot drop box. Easy peasy! And with that I voted! There was a steady stream of others dropping off their ballots as well. On the other side of the building there was a sizeable line of people waiting to vote in person, glad I avoided that! Don't forget you can track the progress of your ballot online this year!

This is a cool and big used bookstore. There are some special editions and they do book binding…read moreand repair. There is a basement and then several floors to spend time checking out books. The service was really nice. There are a lot of older books and not as many newer books. I did think that the sections were well organized and alphabetized so it made it easier to search through. The prices were good as well. It's a nice place to come and browse and look for a hidden gem of a read.

I don't even know how to begin to describe this store. So many floors I believe five? For a book…read morelover it's like visiting the Mecca of Midwest bookstores. Owners are fantastic people and so knowledgeable about various genres of literature. Warning: Make sure you're not gonna be doing any other shopping after you stop in here because you're gonna walk out with plenty of books!
