A community staple and one of my favorite places on 4th street. I especially love the bookstores organization by AAPI authors and the likes. Check out their Kubo lb location also!

Stopped by while visiting Long Beach and picked up a book to read on my vacation. Cute store, with a good selection. Love the way they shelve the books by identity and genre! Always love supporting independent bookstores!

The best bookstore in Long Beach!! The owner does such an amazing job selecting books and hosts great book clubs. Plus the book related goodies she has are always on point and great for presents.

The bookstore, inside The Hangout on 4th street, is a Long Beach gem! It is small, but with an amazing collection for adults, babies, and everyone in between! The collection is very current with a focus on BIPOC authors and social justice issues. I have mainly bought children's books here for my own kids and as gifts and I absolutely love the selection and find something new and wonderful each time I visit! The owner, Jhoanna, is lovely and happy to talk all things book and bookstore-related. I hope to participate in one of their book clubs at some point. I also recommend signing up for the newsletter!
