    Three Stories Books & More - Local company (Woodbridge) whose products they sell. This smells great and the little one has fun with it at bath time.

    It's a cute bookstore. It's very clean, and really quite spacious. But I confess, I was pretty…read moresurprised by the dearth of books! I guess that's where the "and more" part comes in (and does a lot of heavy lifting). Of the books on display, they had only a single copy (at least out on the floor). And the books were displayed face out, which makes sense when you're trying to catch the attention of young children many of whom can't read, but then when only half of your shelves hold books it's fairly sparse. They also had some stuff from some local purveyors and gifts and stuff. I got some bath stuff to try with my little one to shake up bath time a bit. They have some stuffed animals and stuff. They have some benches and pillows, spaces for kids to hang out and play; one was a wardrobe that was really nicely arranged as a reading nook which my kiddo really enjoyed. (I wish I had the vision to see something like a wardrobe and find that if I take the doors off and anchor it to a wall, it could be a fun place to cuddle up!) Something that's really cool is that they have a fishtank with a couple of axolotls, which my babe was astonished by. The bookstore seems to have a cool thing where you can arrange to have your kid feed them. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our visit here was the reason we came. I saw on Instagram that they were having train day, mentioning train books and crafts. My daughter loves trains, so we headed down. I think there were three train books on display. And the "craft" was some half-sheets of paper, crayons, and sheets of stickers that had trains on them. There was another family that had come in at the same time as us and I couldn't help but wonder if they were as let down as I was. I'd been really looking forward to visiting this bookstore--I wanted to about a year ago but hadn't been able to get here. I don't know that I'd come back even if I was nearby, because there are so few books that I don't know I'd want to just stop in to take a look since I'm not sure we'd find anything. Depending upon what's happening I'm not sure what parking is like; there's a good deal of parking down the block near the train station, but otherwise limited street parking.

    This is the most horrible book store I've ever visited!!! This is the second time I've gone there…read morethinking the first time the employee was having a bad day. This is supposed to be a child friendly place that makes children excited about books. Unfortunately that's not the case in this store. The employees glared at my granddaughters while they looked around ready to pounce if they touched anything. Unfortunately my second and last visit had the same awful vibe. 0 STARS

    I love Barnes & Noble. It seems the negative comments are directed at the Starbucks vs the actual…read morestore. They did have the specific children's book I was looking for, However, the customer service person was on the phone for an incredibly long time. I don't mind that it was taking so long ~ but maybe acknowledge that you realize I am standing there or ask the person on the phone to hold on while you verbally acknowledge my presence. Bright and open. Oh, and the door that opens into the mall is actually the back of the store.

    I have always been a huge fan of Barnes & Noble for over 30 years. I have used them in so many…read moredifferent ways over the decades as a place to study a place to shop a place just a socialize. And it was really sad when they all closed, however I was very excited when this one opened and actually grew in size. I've been here multiple times however, I finally decided to do a review on them. I gave them the two stars for several reasons. There's never enough staff here and on top of that although this is located in the very nice Oak Brook mall, they are facilities for their restrooms are absolutely appalling and disgusting. It is not only filthy, but they are so worn down and worn out. The only positive about this place is that they are constantly stocked with product and really cute trinkets and things to purchase regardless. Of course they have a little café as well, but even that needs a real facelift and renovation. Because even sitting here in the furniture is disgusting. So if you do need to buy anything, I suggest you come here you buy it and you leave and sit down somewhere else to enjoy your cup of coffee if you do that or to actually sit down and enjoy reading whatever it is, you purchased elsewhere
