    It'd been well over a decade, perhaps closer to two, since I last stepped foot inside a…read moreBooks-A-Million. I didn't know these stores still existed, but I hadn't thought about it either. The one in my hometown (High Point, North Carolina) closed a long time ago. I remember enjoying my visits there as a kid. This Books-A-Million in Statesboro appears to be alive and well, for the most part. When Three Tree Coffee Roasters closed early, we headed here. There's a cafe inside called Joe Muggs (the Books-A-Million cafe chain). Joe Muggs has indoor and outdoor covered seating and the bookstore has free Wi-Fi. In order to connect to Books-A-Million's Wi-Fi network, you have to log in using a social media account. I logged in using my Twitter account. This is the first public network I've connected to that required a social media account for connection purposes. They must want my data. The Wi-Fi signal at the cafe was good and the speed was sufficient for general web browsing and music streaming. I didn't try to stream any videos, but I did upload some photos and those took a lot longer over Books-A-Million's Wi-Fi than my considerably faster home internet connection. We stayed at the cafe for a few hours in the afternoon. The store saw a steady, but slow, stream of business. A lot of the employees just hung out behind the registers due to a lack of customers. There were a couple books we were interested in getting for my nieces, but sadly, Amazon had them at lower prices with free (Prime) shipping. It's this very reason why I wonder how brick and mortar bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million have survived for as long as they have. Then again, they seemed to thrive in the 90s with business models that allowed customers to spend hours inside their stores reading books and magazines and not having to pay a dime. Wanting to give Books-A-Million our business, we asked the staff if they would price match Amazon. They said they couldn't price match in-store, but we could price match with Books-A-Million online. Why would we spend our time doing that (setting up a Books-A-Million account online and going through the price matching process) when we already had Prime accounts set up through Amazon? With just a few taps on the Amazon app, we'd have the books sitting on our doorstep in a couple days. The store itself was nice. It was well maintained and organized and had an up-to-date and well-stocked inventory of books, toys, games, and gifts. The men's restroom was clean. The staff was polite. While it has some things working against it, overall, I think this Books-A-Million is a fine place to come to to browse, shop, meet, hang out, and/or get some work done. Both the bookstore and cafe have a quiet, relaxed, and comfortable atmosphere. This Books-A-Million is located in the Statesboro Crossing shopping center with other national retail and restaurant chains like Hobby Lobby, Olive Garden, Petco, TJ Maxx, and Ulta Beauty. It's not far from Statesboro Mall and the Walmart Supercenter.

    i cant wait to go back !!! This location has so many books…read moreranging in genres. what better bookstore could you visit, this one has it all. the one bad thing about this place is they could have a better sitting area for you to drink your coffee while you read or just chill while your friends are shopping for books. But its a book store Common its nice and there are so many books to choose from. This store dosent really have flaws

    The sign up process @ This place will discourage you belittle you and try to make you give up on…read moreyourself. mostly Those in the back always have a smug look and a reason as to why this aint that but never have solutions, you can drive there 59 times just to be told check back tomorrow or they don't see. and if you trying to learn the process because you don't know m, and ask them what the steps are, they suggest you figure it out before you come back so they will know how to help you. i have bn over looked for yrs this yr they wait till the last min to say oh i see you did get approved 2 weeks ago (the1st time I went) . but did you apply for your classes?. no! because a week ago I came back you said you ain't see the fasa and said because I'd bn out of high school so long it pr won't take . I come back the next day and its a go . not having the time to go see my advisor and have en time to see if it's my fit . then when I do see her i decide to change my major, and now what it says i only have 3 days, it's now day two I was there the 1st day and it was just impossible to make that change in the admissions desk. Now stressed out and yet again discouraged and annoyed I wonder if I'll get productive help if I wasted more time and gas . Nasty energy from the comfortable people in the back . they take the joy and hope you have and crush it . because hey if I can't even enroll without feeling stupid, how am I supposed to to feel confident in the classroom . they do a freaking number on you for sure. but don't give up . hopefully once we get pass the the belittlement and get into the class hopfully it's all up from there. but them nice people in the book store are amazing if you need a pick me up, after financial aid and admission dims your dreams .

Couldn't talk to financial aid because admissions wouldn't do their job and accept me. THREE DAYS before classes started I finally got accepted just to be told by financial aid that I didn't qualify. Not even an offer for other options to pay for school. HORRIBLE experience all the way around. Way too much stress just trying to get into school. Never should have bothered trying here.
