Once again, I am shocked and impressed and warm-hearted! This is on the main strip! A book cooperative! And the inside is such a vibe. We were lucky enough to stumble upon some local talent at the piano and boy did we listen in! a great place to park for a few minutes and take a break from the outside world

Love this bookstore and everyone who volunteers! I picked up 10 books for around $25 because 8 were from the $1 rack 🥳 LOVE their selection, especially their sci-fi section where I've snagged some amazing finds. They have both new and used beauties to pick up. Shop here - they support the community (non-profit), have great gift ideas, and some wonderful LGBTQ+ goodies too!!!

What an amazing bookstore! I love that they offer new & used books, plus the $1 books are a great deal! They also have events which seems fun. Will definitely be returning!

We had a fabulous experience at this store today! Allyson treated our child's request for age-appropiate LGBTQ books with respect, and was 100% open to suggestions of books to consider adding to their selection. Wonderful personal experience aside, we found a great selection of local authors, local interest, and books we'd never run across in with expected known authors. So glad our beach trip was interrupted by a rainy day!
