This wonderful treasure has been open for many years, and I hope it continues for many more.

Support this local used books store and enjoy the atmosphere. And if you have large amounts of books to donate, call them first. They're staffed by volunteers and they could use a bit of a heads up.

"There is no friend as loyal as a book." -- Ernest Hemingway…read more My visit to Brave Books was so special and truly the highlight of my afternoon! Such a great selection, pricing was reasonable for the value, condition and selections. I purchased two books, with others on my list for my next visit. On the porch area, there is a section for FREE books and when you enter you will see NEW arrivals before you make your way through and see other categories such as banned books, horror, espanol, cooking, and historical. It's super cute, quiet and you'll fall in love with the ambiance. The children's section is great! Also, another cute detail was the small mini refrigerator with a sign that read "Have a FREE beverage on us!" I selected the Berry Vanilla Bubly Sparking water. A special and warm shoutout to the kind staff that was present and smiling wide throughout our whole visit, THANK YOU Dorian.

The owner values community and has some artists sell their stickers and bookmarks here as well. It was time and money very well spent!

I could spend hours in a place like this, and I have. Usually find things I didn't even know I needed. I try 9 out of 10 times to buy used books from a local source. Unfortunately, I was not able to find the list of books I was looking for but I still had a great time looking around.
