The drink bar was a pleasant surprise and I had a very yummy Iced Roebling Fog (like a London Fog but with a little sass). Love the physical space and the cafe space in the back with tables was an added bonus. Though small, the inventory was thoughtful and I found far too many things to choose from. The staff selections were on point and I found a few new items to add to my "to read" list. Absolutely worth a visit and I look forward to checking out the other location next time I am in town.

The selection is great. And the organization is honestly amazing for a used bookstore. I love pretty close, so this is a dangerous discovery. Can't get over the prices! My only qualms with the store come from the service; the woman checking us out was wildly unfriendly.

All of the books we got were in great shape (though you should definitely look through them before you buy), and even the children's section was organized. I would definitely go back again to look through more options for myself as well. It's also great to know you are supporting your local library programs!

My daughter's review: l love how they always seem to have everything l am looking for. I don't know what I would do without the Bookshelf.

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.
