been going to this store since i was a kid and it still holds the same magic it did back then. super fun to look through all the books and the staff is super nice and friendly!

★★★★★ — Vanessa, Aug 2024

Pleasant staff and wide selection of used books. Not going to get a whole lot for your trade in but nice to recycle books you have read so others purchase. Good selection of young adult and teen titles.
