There is plenty of parking and books to choose from depending on your flair for books. So come in for a great read books experience!

It has a great selection from children's books right up to current adult books. The staff was friendly and offered to help us find anything when we arrived but also left us alone to look which I always appreciate. There is a cafe attached which offers simple non fancy coffees. My daughter was absolutely fine with that since a simple black coffee is her way to go. We purchased a few books that have been on our TBR and will definitely be back soon!

They no longer have a display of banned books and when I was there the worst author in the history of authors was doing a reading (12/6/25).

It seems as though my previous review disappeared as I have frequented this store for over a…read moredecade. I recall my children being young, so definitely a long time. The business listing shows four years is the culprit. They are much older than this and somehow the old business listing was replaced. In my opinion this is the best of the chain in the 757. Why, because you also have the mall and it's not just a one off trip. The store is located on an end by Dicks Sporting Goods. So it's easy to park and go in. They offer the largest children's area of the chain on the Southside. It's well maintained, but now somewhat dated after a renovation probably ten years ago. Staff has been friendly over the years. The price in store is the same online and can save shipping and time. They also offer a very small coffee shop and sandwiches and bakery items. This is not a draw to the store, it's too small. I will continue to shop them.

I love seeing all the different stickers each place has to find the perfect one. I really liked how they had their books organized, each by some type of "trope".

I have seen on their Instagram that they do a lot of events and I am hoping to one day attend one.

They have an assortment of really unique things. Most prices are pretty reasonable!! The artwork was beautiful with vibrant colors and very creative!! I found some cool crystals and glimpsed through some very informative books. There were so many things i wanted, so i had to set some boundaries with myself before heading to the register..Lol. Because spending money is all to easy for me.." I'll take it" is one of my most used phrases!!! They also offer a program for members to earn rewards, which is great!!
