There were a lot of nicely curated titles all throughout the store, and they were all in very good condition. The Volunteer staff here were also very friendly and helpful as well, which made the experience more enjoyable. Will definitely come back to this shop the next time I'm in the area.

This was our first visit today. I went in specifically looking for the last 5 books in the Stephanie Plum series. The store associate was extremely helpful in helping me find the books on the shelf but she also went in the back and brought one more out. So I was able to find all 5 books I was looking for and got them at a fraction of the cost of the online store. Since they were used books from the Jefferson libraries the books were very affordable!

It’s bad enough that the store closes two hours before the rest of the mall but they are very rude when you enter the store five minutes before they are due to close. I got the message. You don’t want my business.

So many awesome books at a great price! We purchased a heaping stack of great science and art books that were previously from the Jefferson County Library! And the lady at the desk was lovely as well. Will definitely be back!

A lovely used bookstore! Take the time to stop by and find a reasonably priced gem. The store is located in the mall near Dick's Sporting Goods so parking and navigation is relatively easy.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
