Super cute bookstore in the heart of Dormont. I first learned about this store when I decided to…read moremake a Bookstagram (literary.listener). They sell books via their physical store but also post stacks of books and you can claim them. The owner is very sweet and even works with you if it takes awhile for you to get to the store. Honestly, I love this. It helps to show the stock and then I go in already knowing what I need/want. Also in the area you can get a nice little bubble tea so you can have something to sip on while you peruse the bookshelves. They do have events also in the space. You should check out their Instagram. And after you check out their Instagram actually go to their bookstore and shop local.

Owner Jamie is the sweetest, I could talk about books with her all day! With a vast selection of mostly used and some newer popular fiction (all at an amazing discounted price), there is surely something for everyone! There are so many unique finds here. She puts so much work into buying books for the store. She has even acquired rare first editions of Sarah J. Maas books, and I was lucky enough to snag one of them! You can sell books to her as well, just keep an eye out for when she's buying!

They do have a unique selection though, and I was able to find some books that are difficult to find at other places, both used and new. The most unique parts were that they also have literary-themed tea, and being a small local store, they even have speakers come for events. The employees were friendly, but I happened to be there on a particularly busy day and I felt bad for the brand new employee who needed a little more guidance from her supervisor to check everyone out so the line could keep moving. It was nothing bad for the new employee because she was very friendly and doing her best, but it is important to help a new employee when it is busy.

After 25 years, they are MOVING!…read more We love Half Price Books! What better way to spend a date day than flipping through shelves of books that aren't overpriced! This location is great when we are headed toward Ross Park Mall.. except for the giant hill of an entryway that... denoted by the scratches in the pavement... has removed a good number of bumpers! Sooooo... we are excited that they are relocating down the road. Still... shelves upon shelves of meticulously curated categories with sub categories and alphabetized authors.... Maybe we love this because we are both such detail oriented people! My wife and I love to remember our favorite authors and hunt down where they are. We spend far too many minutes sitting on the floors of the sections thumbing through shelves and pages. And there is nothing better when you get to checkout with a stack of books... and the price is half! Thanks for the date days! Thanks for staff that never minds people squatting and enjoying!

Owner is so passionate about books, can recommend superbly if you just give her an age or general direction, and the gifts selection is unique high quality and can't be beat. Weekly storytime is creative, themed and typically includes a song dance or activity. Get there early as it fills up quickly. We like going to shop, read and play. There's always a few ongoing activity or craft areas for the kids whenever you visit. I've purchased countless gifts there and they even wrap it for you in unique and beautiful paper! Always a hit. We've taken friends and family there and now they're hooked too. I seriously can't recommend this place enough. It's incredible!

Spark Books is INCREDIBLE. In a year when small businesses are hanging on by a thread, Spark Books…read morehas gone above and beyond and I'm so glad I found them! This is an INDEPENDENT CHILDREN'S BOOKSTORE and while I haven't had the pleasure of visiting in person, they have impressed me incredibly with their guest service. We were looking for an indie bookstore to support when putting together a group gift for a friend's new baby. Spark Books's website has a user-friendly interface that allows you to keep wishlists and search books and prices (even comparison shopping between editions), then seamlessly order them. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to order online with them. What impressed me most was their guest service. I received swift confirmation of the order, an estimated arrival date, and when it came time for contactless delivery, they called me to notify me they were on their way. I had mentioned in the notes of my order that this was for a friend's baby, and they gift-wrapped the order AND hand-wrote a congratulatory note! Small businesses rock, and even in hard times, Spark Books is truly showing their colors as one that cares deeply about the community and their customers. In the COVID era, they continue to keep their website and Facebook up-to-date and take COVID precautions seriously, including masks, in person shopping by appointment, limiting people in the store and online orders with contactless home delivery. If you know little readers, you need to check out Spark Books!

I recently shopped inside this store. I appreciated that the two employees kindly greeted me but gave me space and time to look around on my own. I did not find any books to purchase this time, but I did pick out two pop-up greeting cards. The cashier correctly processed my transaction. This store contains a large section for children's books, so if you have any children, then I encourage you to shop here. Furthermore, if you are interested in attending events such as conversations with authors or children's story-times, then be sure to visit this store's website to read about upcoming in-store events.
