This library looks small on the outside, but I was surprised that it's as stuffed as a burrito inside. I've gotten the impression that Tampa Bay libraries don't put emphasis on books. Instead, there's a diarrhea selection of all books--one of the most rows of books I've seen in a Pinellas or Hillsborough library so far. Unfortunately, the children's area and magazine section are rather small. There's less than 20 computers, but it was still the busiest area there... geez, people don't want to read anymore? There's also multiple rooms inside to host small meetings and other events. The bingo-aged staff was very nice and helpful to me. The entire library is very inviting, as evidenced by the many kids browsing around there and people studying. PYRA SAYS: One of the better Tampa Bay libraries for hospitality and books. But since people just want to go on the computers, it's not the best for that.

This is a beautiful and impressive locally owned book shop. They have books old and new from every…read moregenre you could be interested in. They also have a section for local Floridian authors, along with guides to the state of Florida and different cities, which is super relevant for visitors to the shop. Along with books, they have other knick-knacks, some book-themed and some just for fun. There are socks, shirts, book-themed book bags, puzzles and more. I would say the prices aren't the best but they aren't quite as bad as going to a Barnes & Noble or Books-a-million type book shop. And i'd much rather support a small business paying a price like that than the big chains. They do also have a used book section that has cheaper books so that can be another nice option. Truly, there's something for everyone in here if you look close enough. Even some special edition books they keep behind the register as they as rare & a very valuable.

I do not know about purchasing from this bookstore, but don't bother trying to sell them anything…read more So far three times I've sent them emails with photos of new author hardcover books, and some out of date old books Besides, taking forever to get a response, they do not purchase anything So don't bother contacting them if you have books to sell In response to the owner. I said specifically, I did not know anything about purchasing from him or his bookstore What I did say is, if you're trying to sell, this is not the place to go Did not mean to be offensive, but it seems that they do not purchase anything whatsoever from anyone. And this is definitely lacking in this area. Everything I read about his bookstore as far as inventory , service, and hospitality is above grade. All I said is do not try to sell anything
