We've extended our Sunday hours! Monday-Thursday: 11am-7pm Friday-Saturday: 11am-8pm Sunday: 12pm-8pm
We're looking for artists to do our window displays! Want a free space to show off your artistic abilities? Use our huge, well-lit window to create something great (and somehow connected to books or reading) and we'll leave it up for a month along with whatever self-promotion you'd like to include. It's a win-win situation. Contact Christine to discuss.
We've made ordering even easier! Email us at [email protected] with any of your special orders.
We rent audiobooks! That's right, rent an audiobook for only $8.00 a week. That's a great deal, considering they cost over $30 each retail. Make your workouts, commutes and long drives go by in a flash.
The store is packed with new things! Our Spring orders are pouring in and the shelves are stocked full. Come on down and take a look. Don't forget to check out our literary finger puppets and new selection of literary journals, including Tin House and N+1.
Book-a-Month subscriptions are not just for kids! Our book-a-month can put a smile on anyone's face, young or old. How about a new adult paperback sent to your loved one or friend every three months for a year? Pay the same price as a kids' 1 year subscription ($125.00). Feel free to talk to us about customizing your gift. People love a gift that keeps on giving...
Update on recurring monthly events! Game night is the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm. There will be no more themes, just bring your favorite game and we'll all play. Movie night has been cancelled, for the time being.
Don't forget gift certificates! We have new ones and they're pretty. Everyone would want one, we think.
Our website has changed! It's more user-friendly, so please be friendly and use it. Go to the comment sections and talk about your favorite books. Join our online book club discussion. Or just read our blog. Good times.
Our event calendar rocks! We've got baseball, pugs, Brooklyn and apocalyptic humor. What could be better?
