The owner is always friendly and gracious. I take books in and she decides what she'll take and what she won't. Then from that you have credit applied to your account. When you go in to purchase other items you get to use a portion of your credit towards new purchases. She has a good selection of books and I love her pens and elastic book bands with pen holders. She even has the date night with a book where you choose the genre of book you want but it's wrapped and craft paper and you get this prize after you buy it.

I thought the Book Nook was good. They had lots and lots of books from all types of genres. However, I did feel that they were a little expensive for the books being used - only a couple of dollars cheaper than the new one I bought on sale at Target. They do have a book program where you can sell books to them and get credit towards in house purchases.

Checked out this used bookstore and it was honestly great. Huge selection, fair prices, and the kind of shelves you can get lost in for a while. I found a few books I’ve been wanting and a couple I didn’t expect. It just felt good being in there. I’ll definitely be going back.

Your classic used book store but better because of the people who run it. Great selection and very polite staff I truly enjoy every visit.

Promoting the Readers and Writers event using AI, attacking authors who disagree with their choices, and rage blocking anyone who doesn't agree with them. Definitely won't be visiting again, and I advise others who dislike AI to do the same. Also threatens and mocks authors, especially those they profit off of. Do not support this business.
