Clever displays repurpose card catalogs to showcase staff picks. And the friendly staff is very willing to give you recommendations of other spots to check out around town.

This is definitely A MUST visit when you come to Erie. It's…read morea community's bookstore that has recently added a coffee shop inside. They offer a wide selections of books, both well-loved (2nd-hand) and new, from Mystery, Romance, History, to Children's books. It is such a relaxing and peaceful experience to browse around the store, looking for a treasure to be found (You can also join their book club). If you are looking for a gift or souvenir, there are also small gifts such as stationary items or treats from local places like Lake Erie Candy Co. All the way in the back is a coffee shop that sources coffee from North Edge Craft Coffee (Erie's own roasting company), and a bakery, offering foods such as bagels and cupcakes. So far, I have only tried Chai tea latte and Dirty chai, but will definitely try other items in the future. My favourite part here, other than delicious drinks and books, are that they offer to buy back the book that you recently purchased, and will give you store credit to be used for your next purchase, or you can also bring in any books you currently own, and sell it to them for store credit. Grab a drinks, your favourite book and get lost in another world!

I haven't purchased comics in years. I had actually come in to purchase a few for a friend for a…read moreChristmas present.

Highly recomend to anyone looking for comics in town.

When you walk into a book store I want it to feel like home. This place feels like home it smells…read morelike a book store and the people whom work there love books and it feels safe enough to take my children to this place. I've met the owner and I love her, shes this person whom loves books and the people like her, and shes funny too. I wanted something different and they guys gave me 5 options and asked me a ton of questions. That's called getting to know your customer and them knowing you. I return to places like this. I spend money at places like this over and over again. Shop at this place and keep it in business.

This building started its life as a Acura dealership. At the time in the Erie was not ready for…read moresuch expensive cars and thus failed and someone had the good vision for a Barnes and Noble. Very Smart. The location is at the main artery in Millcreek so getting to it is easy in the non-winter. But in the winter its a serious PIA (pain in the ass) because its on a hill and people do not pay attention while traveling downhill in the winter. The staff, they LOVE books, they have told me were older book stores are in Erie if I was looking for something that was out print. That kind of information really makes to me if I'm going to visit again. Instead of I don't know, you get here is a place that might have it. I like they have the children area downstairs as they can sometimes get very excited about the books or the event. I know I do not want my kids bumping into someone or impacting a study group. I don't know about the wireless in this place but it might be free and I do love the idea of free. I go there about 3 times a month to feed my brain or my ears for the newest music. Thinking about the music area its pretty standard and I have not talked to them so I may update in the future if I find something or someone interesting. Since all the boarders have closed they are not the defacto corp bookstore at the level boarders.
