A bookshop and an Airbnb...are you kidding me??? This converted house is the setting for the…read morebookshop of my dreams. It's spacious with lovely greenery and reading nooks--and it has a Harry Potter room! The kids section has heart-melting tiny cushion seats for the littlest readers in your life. No space is wasted here as you'll see bookish tokens from totes, socks, and pencil pouches placed in various locations. The main space has comfy couches, great lighting, and it almost makes you feel like you're reading in an English garden. Fabulous selection of used and new with fair prices. The owner was a gem and so nice to chat with. If I lived in Springfield, I would be here all the time. I'm definitely coming back to stay in "Sleep Above the Shop" space.

I like the friendly staff and they do have cats. They pay good prices for D&D books in good…read morecondition if you want to give someone else a chance to own your books and play the game.

Within one minute of flipping through the book (i.e. not a thorough search), I found twelve instances of marginalia. There is also a prominently-sized name and date written in pen on the inside cover page. No marks indeed! I suspect lack of care in inspection rather than purposeful deceit. But either way, beware of false descriptions.

Disorganized mess. Incorrect labels/signs leading you on goose chases. Unhelpful staff that is…read moreborderline rude. Additionally, there are no restrooms - so while you're lost trying to find books, following incorrect labeling, and navigating the otherwise chaotic disorderliness, you can rest assured that they will be unaccommodating. I recently took my family here, and as we were compiling a stack of books worth a couple of hundred dollars (we're working to stock our home library built-in shelves), our toddler son needed to use the restroom. We asked if he could use theirs, and they said no. Rather than spending my money with them, I left my stack of books where they were and took my son to the restroom at Barnes & Noble, where I continued my book shopping. As for the bulk of used books I need, I can obtain them via Amazon and AbeBooks, and don't have to support a rude local business that is unhelpful and falls short of providing a quality experience. Why shop local when you can shop at the giants who care about their customers? I will never return.

This used bookstore has a massive inventory. It is not visibly appealing or inviting, but contains…read moremany rows of floor-to ceiling shelves laden with books. The cost is typically $6 for a hard-bound book. That is quite a DEAL!

Ugh, I just got done running home to get a utility bill to show to renew my library card. I've had…read morea library card here for 5 years. First when it was a private library and I donated money for an annual card and now the second year since it has become a public library. I voted YES to it becoming public because I grew up appreciating having access to a library. Now, seeing how elderly the population is here, I hope more and more benefits will be developed for them through this community library. Short version to my mediocre star rating is based on the inefficiency of the one website that the staff can utilize to confirm residency, its ineffectual. As a resident of 5 years and a tax payer for 5 years, I could not be found. I sympathize with people further out of town, the elderly, new commers, and previous or on-going library patrons having to prove who they are past showing their drivers license. The information my paper file they hold has the exact same information that appears on my drivers license! I'm an election judge in Taney county, and the legal residence in the United States are allowed to vote legally easier than trying to obtain a library card here. I receive surveys to better this library and diligently fill them out. I hope this note goes towards addressing this issue. The library staff deserves better tools to assist guests to this library. Thank you,

Downstairs in the Taneyhills Library is the Friends of the Library Bookstore. This review is about…read morethe bookstore, not the library. For decades, I have only been buying my books at the Friends of the Library bookstores around the country. The money goes to support the library. The community donates their books, most of them brand new and hardbound. This is the BEST Friends Bookstore I have ever seen. I come to Branson several times a year, and I load up on books. I buy bags and bags of them here. It is an enormous room full of bookshelves. They are well organized and categorized for easy perusal. Nowhere on earth can you beat these prices!

You maybe have to get them online on their website, I don't know if they have as many in the business place in town to browse when you are there shopping. Oh my about the women anyway.

They keep LGBTQ book displays up year-round and not just at Pride! They also have a banned books display all year round. I also enjoy the events they host, i've been making new friends at the k-pop meetups they host and they also hold book release parties and author signings that are great. Only complaint is i wish they still had a music section.

This bookstore is okay if you like old books. They have a ton of used books. A lot of them are…read morereally old and antique. I spent 20 minutes looking around and only recognized a handful of books. Overall if your looking for The New York best seller list this will not be your place.
