A nice new bookstore! Lots of seating, but the shelves are not totally full. Could use more classics but great selection for YA

The book store is cute found a book I liked could have bought cheaper at amazon but I like supporting small businesses. I Do have a suggestion if you have employees working for you they should want to work there. The cashier couldn’t bother having a conversation about a book I was interested in and completely ignored me when someone she knew walked into the store sad to say I will just buy online from now at least online it will not feel ignored

A new addition to downtown Visalia. So great to have a small bookstore downtown to enjoy. They have a smaller book selection but some books I can’t find at a bigger store or even remembered were books. I found the Arthur book series there and I loved them as a kid so I bought some for my nephew to now enjoy reading. Come check it out and support.

This store is awesome I like how it's designed and the people are so nice there help you with anything, the only problem is they didn't really have any books that I wanted to read on my list. But they still had great picks.
