Don't really understand how the mall bookstore is still surviving. Can you really classify them as…read morebookstores anymore? I mean yes, in some part, but at the same time there are more items in here that do not relate to books. There are more and more items in here that are of the toy variety that are geared towards children than books. This is somehow surviving in this dying mall. But to be honest you rarely see anyone enter here. How is it surviving? Just how? I came in and looked through the selection they had and not much is worth grabbing. I like local history books, especially when it comes to Johnstown. Just wish that there was more offered here.

I can't give this store anything but five stars!!!! Not just because I love reading and go in here…read moreall the time, but because the store and workers are awesome. The employees know me by my face and name because I am always in there. They always say hello to me and we have a conversation because they are just so awesome. Books are never that cheap, but they always have sales and if you go in at the right time, you can get books for less than $5. The membership card is worth it if you are w reader because it saves you money on everything you buy. I have too many books to count and I always buy more, but this store is a great one and it better never close. Heck, books are the only thing I really buy and I could keep them in business haha. If you rare looking for a good place to buy books with friendly staff go to Books-A-Million because you will never be disappointed!

The staff was just so friendly, and you can tell their passion for all things reading. They have worked at this spot for 20+ years, which goes to show the dedication to this special place. My kids enjoyed the unique books, along with the comfy seating in the back of the store. In addition to a great book selection, they have a variety of gifts and unique puzzles. We ended up buying a few books along with a fun, Japanese, dog-surfing puzzle that both our kids agreed was a really fun one. The prices were very reasonable and the store was just so well curated. I would love to come back here again on a future trip.

He laughed at me, said good luck, and then followed me around the store. He kept making comments just loud enough for me to hear, such as "magic is as real as religion", "Hagerstown is just full of crazy people these days". I finally turned around and asked him what his problem was, to which he replied "oh I don't have a problem but clearly you do." I immediately left and I will never come back. In fact, I'm going to tell people not to come to this store because the managers are very rude. Eta: I never specified a date, and if your management team was focused on helping customers find such a small section of books, instead of entertaining themselves, I would have given a better rating.
