    a bookshelf full of children's books
    Bailey M.

    Love this book store that appears to be named after a dog as that is their store mascot. They have a small coffee shop area inside. I love their baby and toddler book section. I'm always looking for unique interactive books, Harvey's does not disappoint. I've gotten a book about President Obama, Frank Lloyd Wright, etc.

    This little bookstore is so cute! The coffee is delicious, the staff is friendly and the store is set up so nicely. They have kids books & adult books. The banned book section is also such a cute touch! Came all the way from Algonquin to see it!

    This place is adorable! There is a great selection of both local authors, best sellers and everything. They have staff picks as well as recommendations from their customers. They have an adorable, comfortable reading nook upstairs if you want to tuck yourself away and get lost in the world of books. Everyone in the store is so nice and helpful. They're not overbearing in their presence but they're only a step away if you need help. The cafe is adorable and the chai tea latte I got was perfect. They have a nice little outdoor patio with ample seating if you'd prefer to sit outside and sip your drink. Highly recommend, I will definitely be going back!!

    My boy loving the kids section here.

    Let me start off by saying, I am obsessed with books and indie bookstores. This home of a gem sits right off of Third street in downtown Geneva. The ambiance when walking in is welcoming and the smell of pages is over whelming. They have a cute fireplace with seating and a giant scrabble board that YOU can play while sipping on one of their specialty coffees or teas. Everyone who works their is knowledgeable beyond the average book seller and their smiles are welcoming. I come here with my kids when I can but truth be told, I come her alone once a week (not even to buy anything) just to walk around, sip and read. I love this bookstore!

    Banned books

    Awesome shop. Loved their room of banned books. Husband and I each purchased one to support the authors and the store. They also have an in-store coffee shop. What more could you ask for? except maybe cats? ‍‍

    Cute magnets
