Strolling into this bookstore and I knew I found a hidden gem for fellow book lovers like myself…read more From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The owner was incredibly friendly and genuinely knowledgably about the book world. She took time to educate me and other fellow guests about the history of the store, which you can learn more from the newspaper clippings in the back of the store. She also talked to me about the Little Free Libraries, how they work, how to find all the registered ones online, and even encouraged me by saying I could host one myself. That conversation along made the visit feel special as you can see how passionate she is. The store has a wide selection of books, thoughtfully organized, with something for every kind of reader. My absolute favorite part was the cozy corner of vintage books - such a charming collection, each one priced fairly and appropriately for its condition and uniqueness. It felt like stepping into a little time capsule. Beyond books, they also carry comics and games, which adds to the fun and makes this place great for browsing, whether you're a serious collector or just popping in to explore. If you love books, community, and supporting small businesses with heart, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I was in the area when I came across Wilson's Book World, a secondhand bookstore, and decided to…read morestop in. Parking was easy to find in the store's lot. I was impressed by the wide selection of books in good condition, all of which were available at affordable prices. You can find a variety of genres here, making it a perfect place to spend quality time browsing and discovering new reads. The staff member working that day was knowledgeable about the books, knew exactly where everything was located, and was eager to provide recommendations and help find specific titles.

You're gonna think I'm weird! Wait a minute, if you read my reviews, you already know that!…read more These wonderful folks deserve all the attention we can give them! One of my awesome Yelp friends, and perhaps the most active Yelper on this site, Bruce K., has reviewed tons of these little boxes and his efforts inspired me. From their website- Our Mission & Vision "Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Our mission is to be a catalyst for building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access for all through a global network of volunteer-led Little Free Library book-exchange boxes. Our vision is a Little Free Library in every community and a book for every reader. We believe all people are empowered when the opportunity to discover a personally relevant book to read is not limited by time, space, or privilege." It doesn't get more awesome than that! They have a great website and an app to help you find a box. Arriving- This box is on the Northbound side of US Route 27 and is beside a boat landing parking lot, a picnic area, and a Mexican restaurant. They are a snap to find and park. The Box- This one is nothing fancy and is Charter #16803 in their system. It is very well mounted as it should be to withstand Florida's hurricane season! It was packed with books of all types. There were thrillers, romance novels, young adults, paperbacks and hard covers and even children's books. It was so packed that I had trouble adding a couple of books that I donated myself. There was truly something for everyone and they're free! How to Help- Check their website. Find the closest box and donate. There's lots more you could do if you really get into it! Be sure to download their app that has lots of cool features. Conclusion- This is one of those organizations that needs 10 stars! Enough said! This box itself is in great shape and overstuffed with books so 5 stars!
