We bought our Felix the Cat clock here as well as many other birthday/holiday gifts for our friends and family. There isn't another store like it and the owner works so hard to make her shop a friendly and fun place to be in. You'll find things you never knew you needed or maybe even something that makes you smile or laugh. Love Pygmy Hippo forever!

TRENDY LITTLE STORE w/ GREAT FINDS! Central Library's "The Library Store" is a current,…read morewell-stocked gift shop with buzzy reads and stylish merch. I loved seeing their pocket-sized collection from their genre-specific books to celebrity finds. I spotted a Chappel Roan book among other favorites. Additionally, they had a selection of Heated Rivalry novels and other fan-favorites. I definitely see myself coming here more often, too bad my booklist is currently full. My Mom and I got a few items (a small version of Macbeth, socks, mug, etc.). Staff were pretty polite but a little awkward, I think they're on high-alert for shoplifters. The store was neat and tidy. Lighting was dim and the store wasn't packed. As this is a gift shop in LA, library-specific merch is slightly pricy. However, the quality of the goods are great. If you're entering through the backside of the library go straight down the entrance hallway a bit and turn to your right. The Library Store is hard to miss!

It was our first time here and we were pleasantly greeted by a worker. We took our time looking at everything and were delighted by the puns and cuteness. Luckily, the manager was in the store and we were able to meet him. He gave me a bit of a side eye and kept sleeping on the floor. I tried my best to walk around him in order to continue looking at the stationary! He was a beautiful tan and black color and very fluffy. Super cute, super gift worthy, and super eye catching store. I loved every bit of it! Highly recommended if you're looking for a gift!

They do personalized/custom design service here. They also offer these services on wax seals. I went in for Stationery Store Day and grabbed some really cool calligraphy pens - I should've gotten more, but I still had one more stop to make.
