Cozy new & used book store in downtown Elk River. A lot of its space is dedicated to the children’s area-Yay! Wonderful service. Quite the opposite of Barnes & Noble, but you can find (book) treasure-if you look! Street parking can be a problem, just remember there is a FREE city parking lot by the river (just park behind the Lutheran church & come up by Rivers Edge Commons) or off of King Ave (just not during Farmers Market days)

A small bookstore but a great experience. Spotlights local authors and carries a good variety of books. Engages with the community by hosting events.

A small cozy bookshop that’s right here and local! I love it. It’s nice that even if they don’t have something you are looking for you can order it! They have so many of the “big” books that you should absolutely check them out. Staff is friendly and welcoming!

I picked up some books I claimed on there page from Facebook. The store is always so charming. Always has events happening to special guests reading to the children or book clubs.

Super cute bookstore with a lot of the latest, want to read books. It was very pretty and well organized inside. The only thing I would say is I was expecting it to be more of a used bookstore and therefore not paying full price for books, and maybe I just missed if there was a section for just used books but bookstores and the local community are so important so I didn’t really mind but just something to be aware of going in. Super neat and pretty store! And not too overwhelming like some can be.
