A gorgeous space with a darling children's nook! Phenomenal selections of fiction, poetry, and graphic novels, and a range of micro-collections related to some fascinating topics like sound studies, environmental theory, abolition , rust belt histories, etc...

Phenomenal! It's wonderful to see it all up and running and looking amazing! I'll be visiting the area this winter and this will be the place I look forward to seeing the most! :D

Stellar little curated bookstore. Most peaceful atmosphere, such a fun childrens nook, and I LOVE the puzzle table. Don’t miss this one, come by for a stab and the puzzle and browse and have a little warm drink while youre at it. Best time spent inside a bookstore in a while ✨🙏🏻

Wonderful bookstore to find niche subjects, such as abolition, queer theory, and disability studies. The employees are so kind and lovely to chat with!

I think lots of people dream about spaces like this. I know I have. The selection is curated by a range of people who have the pulse of the times. The atmosphere can be studious or hilarious, depending on who happens to be there. People seem genuinely welcoming and pleasant even when my one year old is crawling around browsing on low shelves. The adorable kids corner is a nice spot to read their very good children's selection. Coffee is always on with a little donation jar. And somehow it's run almost entirely by volunteers! This place is a genuinely beautiful oddity.
