I have been to Keaton & Lloyd several times and have purchased at least one intriguing book I…read morehadn't heard of before on each visit. They might not carry the book of the moment that TikTok insists that you read right now, but they do have a great selection of books you might not find on the shelves at a chain bookstore. (And you can always make a special order.) Spend some time browsing and you're sure to find something you hadn't known you needed to read! All of their books are new, and there are some reduced-price items available. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly without hovering, they have not one but TWO gorgeous cats, they host a monthly book club and other fun events, there's a loyalty program, and they do a lot for the community. Indie bookstores are thin on the ground in this part of the state and I was thrilled to find Keaton & Lloyd just a short drive from Utica. Head to the Rome Arts Districr and pick up something good to read - you'll be glad you did!

I was able to get a signed hardcover for $10, and paperbacks typically range between 4 and 7 dollars.

More than a used bookstore, this is a spiritual pick-me-up. I came in to sell some used books and…read morewandered the many rooms while they were being appraised. Soothing jazz was playing, the antique rugs made everything feel welcoming. There are several rooms full of used books in various categories. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. They also have tables of used records and shelves of movies. This is the kind of analog, community-based place that so needs to exist in today's world. I hope it's always here in Syracuse.

Not looking for anything in particular just want to add to my collection and find something that I once had on a record and now on cd. I found a few items upstairs (main floor) and went downstairs - next time I will bring a flashlight and spend more time there. They also have books there too!

Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu. I got the Peep Mallow Latte (so good!). I love Peeps, so the moment I saw it on the board, I ditched my lemonade plans without hesitation. The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.
