Rima is such a kind and caring owner. The selection of the books is amazing for me and my kids. Love the selection of classes. Better then buying from Amazon. Keeping my money local.

Very cool science based bookstore. Tons of science focused books and games, but they also have a solid collection of fiction available towards the back.

This is a lovely local bookstore. They have a variety of books on many themes for children, teens, and adults, but many choices when it comes to different science related topics. Mostly new books, but they did have some used books as well. Many nonfiction selections were available from a variety of publishers. Quiet, modern atmosphere. If this weren't so far from home, I'd visit regularly.
